Tesla is adding radar and I predict before long it will add LiDAR because that's the only way to get to Level 3, which is a requirement for moving forward in California

Some internet comments said this was for detecting people in the cabin, not for detecting things outside the car.
They're not reading the actual FCC document then, which says:

Strategy: The move brings Tesla's sensor approach closer to competitors like Ford, GM, and Rivian, who utilize multi-modal systems (cameras plus radar) for their driver-assistance features.

Potential: This 'HD radar' could provide critical redundancy and data needed for achieving higher levels of driving automation and improving system performance in all conditions.
