They need to add radar back. Ability to "see" slow downs or stopped traffic even if your vision is obscured is a great benefit for self driving.
I just don't believe that you can infer the dimensions of objects using stereoscopic images with a reliability that you need to make FSD work.
And also having a computer behind them that deeply understands what an object is, the forms it should take and what its expected behaviour should be. We don’t ever confuse billboards for real people.
Fair but to compensate the car has many more cameras than we do.
On top of that these cameras can't move, can't be re-aimed, and have generally far worse dynamic range than our eyes.
Also, when you're in the car, you probably move your head more than you realize. Moving your head around and looking around also gives you better understandings of distance. Far more than a couple of cameras feeding a few megapixel images into a ML model.
Tesla cars are selling faster than they can make them and adding a Radar will slow down the manufacturing, not make it faster.
Tesla told the FCC that it plans to market a new radar starting next month.

If this is true, why are they reportedly cutting production and offering incentives? If they were booked solid, no incentives would be needed.

? They are adding radar, though: https://electrek.co/2022/12/06/tesla-radar-car-next-month-se...
