I just find it distracting to pretend like we know exactly what albatross to hang around the neck of the problem here. While I do tend to think lidar is probably useful, I also think this isn't a solved shut knowable case where the lidar absolutely is essential & makes all the difference. Making assertions like this rests more assurity than I think can be granted, and harms the overall idea: that Tesla doesn't seem to have serious proof that their things are getting better, that they are more trustworthy.

The data is just not there for us outsiders to make any kind of case, and thats the skimping out crucial baseline we need.
