Absolutely agree. I think all self-driving cars should be required to have LiDARs.

I was just reporting what Musk said:

"Elon Musk reportedly demanded cameras over radar in self-driving cars because human eyes don't rely on radar" [1].

Are the down-votes intended for Musk?

Your wording, especially the "Not true" puts it in your own voice.

Not to mention, just repeating Musk's statement in the context you did (as a response to someone explicitly disagreeing already) implies that you agree with it.

It is not true that the decision is not driven by engineering; we know that because Musk has been anti-LiDAR and anti-radar from the beginning.

This shows some level of consistency. Not the source of a viewpoint. (Counterfactual: they had radar, and now they don't.)
