aka we don't want to maintain the vision and radar code bases / theyve drifted apart so lets just work on the one everyone has
There is no drifting apart. If so then there will be full regression to the minimum viable product, the low end Tesla. It was a conscious choice in order to save margin during the chip shortage post-Covid but under the pretext of vision is best. Radar-equipped cars used to be able to see through fog and heavy rain now nerfed.
I meant they would have had two maintain the logic for vision and radar and new features could be developed for one over the other. Calling it the same thing and trying to support the same settings with both was increasing workload so they decided to just implement the lowest common denominator.
Full Self Driving but really lane keeping assist L2
Mother of all factories but really 30% of mother
Vacuum-sealed underground tubes capable of moving people en mass at high speed but really a 15mph underground paved road for Tesla cars
Linear growth of battery density but stuck on same chemistry
Used to have radar but now disabled on cars that have it because vision is like the human eye don’t need anything else
