Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

Except now every other company is switching to camera based system? So if radar is this good, why are companies moving away from it?
No they aren’t. Everybody except Tesla uses both.
Geely and xpeng, the two other alleged market leaders are already using camera only or in oricess of it.
RIVIAN is also already not going to use them once they’re done collecting their initial training data.
So who is this “everybody”?
You might’ve mixed up radar and lidar. There’re a few Chinese makers who’ve cut out using the lidar, but absolutely nobody other than the Muskrat are dropping the radar in favor of shitty cameras who become useless the moment they get dirty. Which does happen outside. Especially in winter, which is coming.
