    They did. And every other competitor does. Musk believes since humans can drive with only two eyes that cars should be able to as well. Maybe someday, but nowhere in the near future. Cameras miss too much and are easily blinded.

      It’s also really stupid because the idea is to create a system that’s better than humans. And let me tell you, people miss stuff all the time when driving. Tons and tons of accidents are caused by “negligent” drivers who looked both ways and missed someone due to a visual processing error or literally not being able to see something.
