I can't speak to Cruise, but I strongly believe Musk set Tesla back a decade or more with his demand to use only video cameras.

We have lidar, infrared lasers, polarized ultraviolent imaging, multi-microphone 3D audio sensing, triangulating RF antennas. Why limit yourself to the limits of human perception?

I’ve heard that lidar is somewhat unfavorable because it’s so susceptible to becoming useless due to misalignments from something as simple as a pothole. Radar and other options though are absolutely worth using, I think musk is just trying to cut costs. Their S/X are using radar with the new FSD HW4
