In reality, we have Tesla vehicles that sold with other sensors that are now disabled, and those cars are now better to drive with automation enabled than with the extraneous sensors, even simple cruise control is better and phantom braking is actually decreased vs spurious radar returns that existed previously, due to the limitations of low resolution radar. Auto high beams is now better at not blinding oncoming drivers with bright headlights, etc. - issues that happened all the time when other sensors were used previously.

How is your experience the direct opposite of the parent post, given the same change?

Believe it or not, if you spend enough time with a Tesla, you quickly realize that actually detecting things is a solved problem.
The thing they need to improve and are doing so rapidly is actual trajectory policy calculations.
And that’s not going to get better with more sensors seeing the same things it already sees.
