Tesla does not handle rain well either. This is not a LIDAR problem, it is a problem with self driving cars in general.

My Tesla can't even tell if it should turn the wipers on consistently or correctly. Let alone drive in the rain.

A feature that is bulletproof in other cars with a very boring and industry standard sensor (it's not even expensive), while Tesla insisted they could do it with just normal cameras.

Seriously. Why do people think a company that can't do automatic wipers could possibly do automatic driving?

The same people that seriously thought we’d have a mars base by now.

People also don't handle rain well.
