This seems like a failure mode where LIDAR wouldn't have helped. A completely flat and mostly empty road where the only real features are lane lines seems to be entirely a vision issue. Not really an excuse for tesla considering vision should be what they are good at, but the whole LIDAR issue seems to be overemphasized.

> flat … empty … only real features are lane lines

You mean a road? This is hilariously awful.

I'm pretty sure other companies solve this with very precise maps of lanes. Tesla still relies on vision only apparently.

Lidar could help by providing accurate positioning. Though I guess cameras should be good enough for lane position when they scan surrounding features too.
