Would this mean Tesla will start using LIDAR like the Google self-driving cars then? The current Tesla solution employing only cameras (subject to dazzle), ultrasonic sensors (short range) and radar (too directional) would otherwise appear to me to be lacking the technical means to ever avoid accidents such as this one.
