If each car has someone piloting it because the tech can't do it, maybe the tech is the problem? I don't see how cameras can succeed. Sunlight and fog are constant and not practical to work around with visual data. I'm glad there's regulation keeping those lithium incendiaries piloted by people. People are bad enough at driving.

Evs catch on fire less than ICE. Sunlight is not a problem. High dynamic range cams

Let's pretend EV fires aren't exceptional. Sunlight certainly is a problem and you can see that in Tesla's own data.

I'm not sure what you want. The NHTSA investigated using Tesla's data and found 956 crashes caused by these types of system failures: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2022/INCR-EA22002-14496.pdf

If you simply search for things like "tesla direct sunlight", "tesla camera condensation", "tesla camera bad weather", you can see thousands of instances of vehicle cameras not working.

The entire investigation was based on Tesla's data if you're unfamiliar. I don't care what you believe. Seems like you're one who consumes the marketing rather than data.
