My understanding is that they went the opposite direction - their cars used to have lidar, but don’t anymore.

Worse, they turned them off for the older vehicles with a software update.

They never had lidar. They had a very low resolution radar that was used for AP, and some pretty terrible ultrasonic sensors with massive blind spots.
