Or they require Lidar. You know, a sensor that actually detects stationary objects at a reliable rate.

Tesla is relying upon advanced AI to do things that its sensors can't do reliably. Its only Tesla who is trying to make self-driving cars off of cameras and inaccurate radar alone.

Maybe Lidar really is too expensive for mass-market adoption. But its the most obvious solution to the problem right now, instead of trying to solve harder problems (ie: camera recognition of 3d objects over trained neural nets).
