The probe hones in on one of Tesla’s most eyebrow-raising decisions when it comes to its driver assistance package: the insistence on exclusively relying on camera sensors instead of LiDAR and radar like its competitors, which CEO Elon Musk has long derided as a “crutch.”

chasing perfect in lieu of the good is not how progress is ever made. its short-sighted, and honestly… stupid.
if we only ever attempted to create perfect things nothing would ever get created.
