I have HW3, but FSD reliably disengages at this time of year with sunrise and sunset during commute hours.

Yep, and won't activate until any morning dew is off the sensors.. or when it rains too hard.. or if it's blinded by a shiny building/window/vehicle.

I will never trust 2d camera-only, it can be covered or blocked physically and when it happens FSD fails.

As cheap as LIDAR has gotten, adding it to every new tesla seems to be the best way out of this idiotic position. Sadly I think Elon got bored with cars and moved on.

  • If the camera is covered or blocked, you can't drive plain and simple, as you can't drive a car (at least on Earth) with just Lidar. The roads are made for eyes. Maybe on Rocky's homeworld you can have a Lidar only system for traveling.

This will considerably skew the statistics, a low sun dramatically increases accident rates on humans too.
