It was a secondary discriminating sensor, but the latest Autopilot 8 upgrade retasks radar to be "a primary control sensor without requiring the camera to confirm visual image recognition": https://www.tesla.com/blog/upgrading-autopilot-seeing-world-...

Indeed. And I absolutely do not trust them on it. Their radar hardware just isn't good enough to reliably do that.
Ditto. It also seems strange to be able to retask their radar from secondary to primary control.
