The probe hones in on one of Tesla's most eyebrow-raising decisions when it comes to its driver assistance package: the insistence on exclusively relying on camera sensors instead of LiDAR and radar like its competitors, which CEO Elon Musk has long derided as a "crutch."

In 2022, the company went all-in on cameras, ditching ultrasonic sensors in its vehicles altogether — a decision that could prove to be a major mistake as it struggles to catch up with its competition and has now promised robust self-driving capabilities to owners who may lack the necessary sensor hardware.

Are there any statistics about problems with these rides!

There has been two software recalls this year. One in February because two cars hit the same truck within a couple of minutes, one in June because a car hit a pole at low speed.

Well, and they were honking at each other on the parking lot.
