Doesn’t Subaru use stereo vision though? Having depth cues and not having them seems like a pretty big distinction, and Tesla just removed their only source of depth.

Tesla has multiple cameras on the front.

Multiple cameras don’t equate to stereo though. As I understand it, the Tesla cameras have too little overlap and the distortion is too great to do proper stereo - it’s 100% monocular depth estimation.

They don't seem very far apart in the Tesla..

The Subaru cameras are either side of the mirror, probably much more effective for stereo vision.

Subaru Eyesight cameras look different though, they’re further apart. See https://images.app.goo.gl/vAJJ7JuV1cmTaymA8

They won't know that it meets the requirements until it has been tested, so putting this clarification out in the meantime covers the gap until vision-only testing has completed.

Teslas are basically just overpriced knockoff Subarus that don't actually work properly. The independent testing data has shown this for years, e.g.: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a24511826/safety-featu...
