"Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true."

Another way to say that, is Tesla scammed all of their customers, since you know, everyone saw this coming...

I'm happily using all the sensors my car offers, even if I'm pretty ok with driving by eyesight. Better sensors that can easily see through fog/rain/snow/whatever? Hell yeah, give them to me.

    LiDAR in particular actually kinda sucks at those conditions (basically any form of precipitation). It's really only good in clear environments.

    LiDAR can be done with different wavelengths. It should be possible to make one that can see through rain and snow.
