If the radar is not used anyway, then when you are disconnecting it, you are going to save a little bit of power. Isn't it an improvement for power consumption ?

When I am not using my bike, is it fair to steal it from my shed?

You didn't pay for the rader, you paid for the detection of objects. If the manufacturer finds a way to accomplish this by other means you don't lose anything.

Don't tell me what's best for me. It doesn't matter how unreasonable you think I'm being; I have a right to decide how I will live.

(P.S. The radar-based Teslas actually kind of work while the vision-based ones are a disaster, so you're wrong on the facts as well as on the principle.)
