Wait, the Model X doesn’t have RADAR/LIDAR to supplement the cameras?

Nope. For whatever reason, Musk decided to just use cameras

"Whatever reason" is obviously just trying to cut corners and improve the bottom line with no regard for the consequences.

A few years ago, they were experimenting with LIDAR (most other car makers had it already then).

Then they abandoned it, even though everyone in the world thought that they need it so badly.

Now we see one of the results.

No, they were too expensive for Musk

Holy shit.... This is worse than I thought

Wanna know what's even worse? My M3 is equipped with LIDAR, but the functionality has been patched away because they don't want to develop for it since all their new cars only have cameras... So even though I have what's in practice a way better system equipped, my lane assist (won't call it autopilot) is still 100% dependent on the fucking cameras...

Calling a Tesla an "M3" is extremely confusing.
