Everyone already knew at the time that this decision was doomed to fail. They now even doubled down to actively remove sensors from older models, to avoid the inputs interfering with the new updates. When it comes to automating and especially autonomous driving in combination with safety, one should want as much input as possible. I doubt visual can compute faster than radar/lidar, I think it was just a cost saving effort. Gladly, Mercedes and BMW show the way to autonomous driving and are allowed to actually start using the first versions on European highways.

Yes, I bought FSD a long time ago and even though I’m owed a hardware 3 upgrade, I’ve yet to get it. If I stay on hardware 2.5, my radar will be stay active and they can’t do something even dumber like disable my parking sensors. I’ve driven vision-only cars and it’s really worse at least for the roads around here. The FSD alpha is still too nerve-wracking to use for me to even consider installing it.
