Anything short of fiercely anti-Tesla gets immediately downvoted here. Just how it goes I guess. I’m not the biggest Tesla fan but hope they succeed on this front, we desperately need driving assistance technology to make the roads safer.

Humans drive using “cameras” (eyes) and no LiDAR, that’s the assumption Tesla is making — that a supercomputer can drive 10x better than humans using the same type of sensor. Nobody really knows yet if that’s true but I get the logic.

LiDAR also is UV/visible spectrum and is blocked by dust/fog/snow/rain so it doesn’t help much in many driving situations…

100%. Also, if I’m reading this right, by doing the transfer you’re also agreeing to let Tesla revoke it once you sell the vehicle to a new owner.

So you’re giving up the future resale value of the feature anyway… is that right? Doesn’t sound like a good deal.

It is not legal for police to spy on citizens via their phone cameras in the US…

Bigger battery + the change to USB-C would be awesome.

We’ll see! They’ve been saying that for a long time. My point is Tesla is the most advanced you can buy currently, and that appears unlikely to change anytime soon. They have more cars on the road collecting data and improving their systems than anyone. It’s not even close…
