Long term: Vision is better, and less prone to false errors (see all the talk of phantom breaking).

I think it was on the way out by maybe 2022

Short term: Global chip shortage made supply tight, and it was either remove it and rush out with the no radar code branch, or stop shipping cars.

Long term I think it's a fine decision, but short term it's kind of a big thing to rush.

Does it give you pause that practically every other company pursing self-driving cars disagrees with Tesla?

Sure, in 5 years we will see what shakes out. I am not taking my entire savings and investing in tesla stock or anything.

That said, i want a cool fast BEV that makes highway driving easier. Right now, Tesla is the only option. A few others are close. If someone else beats Tesla to FSD with another system, I will be happy to go that way on my next car. Working FSD is worth a lot to me.
