I found this to be impressive because it seems to be working without LIDAR and performing very well. I may be wrong but most other contemporary cars that drive this well use expensive laser sensors

Lidar sounds great, but 250 meters x 360 degrees without a tower on top of your car sounds cost prohibitive for now.

Cameras are cheap and I suspect the 12 cameras have overlap to help with depth perception and maybe even fault tolerances. I suspect as soon as LIDAR becomes a better solution for the price (if that happens) that Tesla will use them. Or maybe a hybrid of both so they can use the strengths of both as needed.

Controlled situation with easy pitches.

For example with the parking would the car know if the other vehicle has a driver and when that driver moves or is about to move?
