Even RADAR prevents this and the cars had RADAR! They started disabling RADAR for the older cars since the new ones don’t even have the hardware installed.

They don’t want to install it in the newer cars, and they don’t want to make two software versions I guess. A backup would’ve been great though…

I’m kinda confident that even RADAR + cameras was good enough, but they started shipping cars without it and even shutting off the RADAR in existing cars.

The main negative about LiDAR is the cost, but that’s quickly going down.
