First of all, Mr. Fanboy, Musk has been touting it as a Full Self Driving program for a long time, they've somewhat stopped that recently after regulators started looking into it and you cite their website like they wouldn't change it lmao.

You're even commenting in a thread about an article on their deceptive practices with it.

Second, it's quite clear from my comment that I'm not interested in a "Driver Assist Program" I'm interested in a Fully Autonomous vehicle. "Driver Assist" is a nice feature, but not one I'm going to buy a whole new car for. When Tesla eventually (if ever) comes out with their Full Full Self Driving, however, I won't get it because they've lost my trust in it from all these shenanigans they're pulling now.

Third, there's absolutely a need in a life and death safety critical autonomous system to have another "sight" system. There's not even a cost excuse anymore and disabling the existing systems is asinine and potentially dangerous. Musk is just incapable of admitting when he's wrong and revising his plan like an adult.

Camera only systems get things wrong all the time, they have gaps and scenarios where they just don't work all that well. LiDAR does too, but in different situations, so their strength comes when melded together to complement each other.

Stop licking Elons boot and get a mind for yourself.
