They probably mean 360 degree cameras. Pity the software sucks so bad. But, tbf, others bet it wrong too. E.g. volvo’s self parking works well, unless the kerb is particularly high, in which case the front passenger won’t be able to get out their side, because the car parks so close to it you can’t open the door

FSD software? How does it suck? Have you seen how good it is nowdays?
Huh, that’s very interesting. There are rumours circulating that they’re having difficulty optimizing FSD supervised v12.5 for the Hardware 3 vehicles. I wonder if that hints that they think that true FSD (unsupervised) is possible only on vehicles with Hardware 4 or higher.
If this is the case, it seems like they are setting themselves up for a class-action lawsuit, and retroactively deleting the blog post doesn’t change that.
Any ideas how they would resolve this? Retrofitting existing Hardware 3 vehicles may not be possible. Seems like the most realistic solution would be to offer FSD refunds to Hardware 3 owners, and/or allow FSD transfer to Hardware 4 vehicles.
They do have option for FSD transfers already. Looks like their vision model is getting complex to optimise for HW3 so HW4 would definitely help. But there’s still no guarantee FSD on HW4 will work flawlessly, and how much “Elon time” it’s gonna take to get there.
