Yeah but Elon Musk thinks that camera-based self driving alone is adequate. I'm not talking about Teslas anyway. Fuck Tesla and fuck Musk. The robotaxis I ride in have several radar antennas on them in addition to the cameras, and they only drive in designated areas so there's no worry about them ever encountering unfamiliar terrain. Plus there's a screen in the car that shows you exactly what it sees and what its next move is going to be. That feature alone gives me peace-of-mind.
Honestly, riding in one feels so safe and predictable, that I have no qualms about reclining the seat and taking a nap. If more people tried them, maybe they'd understand what I'm getting at.
