    Maybe if they use LIDAR like they should have instead of just cameras it wouldn’t be such an issue, but they’re determined to minimize costs and maximize profits at the expense of consumers as are all publicly traded companies

      You don’t understand. Musk likes how they look, we can’t disturb that for “safety”!

        Or it no longer has anything to do with making a vehicle look cool.

        The Lucid Air is equipped with up to 32 on-board sensors, including long range Lidar radar, short-range radar, surround view monitoring cameras.

        It’s because musk treats all his businesses like startups, and no matter how successful they get, in the interest of “trimming the fat” he’d like to keep people buying inferior products at a higher profit margin than thinking about better investment and long term growth, just like many companies.
