Apparently, they came to the conclusion that fusing multiple sensors was not worth the effort and they are now vision based only and stopped installing radars (as well as ultra sonic sensors) on their vehicles a couple of years ago. I am not sure what role the radars on older Teslas play. I believe their latest release is entirely neural network based using only vision data having removed all of the older heuristic code.

Ah, okay, so Tesla disparaged LiDAR without ever using it and removed the other non-camera sensors. Tesla's system appears to have issues based on the number of problems reported. To be fair, no other system has the number of miles on it that Tesla does and issues arise with those systems when they are tested to the same extent.
