Yeah likely because Elon Musk stripped out the Lidar from tesla cars to save money and relies on cameras only. A tech bro who thinks he knows better than engineers.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a self driving tesla.

For anyone curious why ripping out LiDAR was a bad idea.

That said, I suspect this is also meant to pre-empt what's been happening to Waymo recently where a small number of protestors were summoning robotaxis and either boxing them in or sabotaging them to use as barricades. With how people feel about Tesla right now, I imagine a whole lot of these would soon be summoned to remote locations to be met by a masked person carrying a can of gas and a lighter. That's also why they're demanding a credit card on file.
