Most cars don’t have radar at all, so it’s hardly like they’re sacrificing consumers by not including it.

I don't think that's true at all.

"General Motors said Wednesday that automatic emergency braking will be standard on 98% of its new vehicles by Aug. 31, the end of this model year. The four remaining automakers were close to hitting 95% in December."

I was referring to cars in general, not new cars. It’s absurd to say that something is malpractice when it was standard practice just a couple years ago. I’d prefer that we get rid of the advanced electronics in cars entirely, so I’m not exactly a fan of Tesla’s model, but I’m also not a fan of saying that every car must have radar to be a reasonable car.
