You're touching on one of the things that Tesla does that frustrates me to no end. They have this attitude of software being the solution to everything. Waymo has a reason they've mounted lidar to the roofs of their cars, it isn't because they can't build good enough software or their ML models aren't accurate enough, it's because they've realised that you can't just throw a bunch of cameras on a car, add some computer vision algorithms and market it to consumers as being fully self driving capable.
