    All the head start in the world can’t save you when you have Elon Musk as CEO. He decided years ago that sensors like LIDAR and such are expensive and unnecessary, “because people can drive with just their eyes”. So now Teslas rely exclusively on cameras, and have a much harder time figuring out the shape of stuff around them. Can’t add sensors with a software update, so they’ll be behind for a good while more.
