I would hold it against them. I think we should start with as many sensors as is necessary to get it working robustly. Over time we can then strip one or the other sensor as we see what we can do with software improvements.

First get something working, then reduce costs, not the other way around.

With hardware, comes software. Having fewer targets for your software can simplify the software and lead to superior results. Edge cases will always be there. You might be introducing some in a particular area with their vision-only approach, but reducing them substantially elsewhere. With radar, they had phantom breaking events and according to them, it's the primary reason they want to ditch it.

I'm on the fence as to whether it's a good or bad decision ... but let's not pretend they're idiots.
