Tesla has famously removed all radar/ultrasonic sensors from their newer cars in favor of a purely camera-based system.
LiDAR doesn’t make sense as a sensor to me because it only works in good weather. Its Like a car without windscreen wipers.
But here is Karpathy explaining how vision can be used to measure distance to objects accurately[0]
Here is the fact that LiDAR doesn't work in the rain[1]: "... In heavy rain, for example, the light pulses emitted from the lidar system are partially reflected off of rain droplets which adds noise to the data, called 'echoes'."
Which logically implies you need to revert to vision, as see [0] also for why Radar is unreliable.

As with everything else there are benefits and costs to those approaches.
