The same Tesla that pulled radar to go vision only and a person was killed because the vision model didn't recognize a truck? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36680043
Not sure that counts as phenomenally well.

That incident and article is from ten years ago.
From this year https://www.autoweek.com/news/a70794762/nhtsa-escalates-prob...
From that same article - "The agency said it has identified nine crashes potentially linked to the issue, including one fatality and two involving injuries. It is also reviewing six additional crashes that may be related."
Fifteen crashes - though not to be trivialized - is not a damning number at all in this context. What's more, per the article it's unconfirmed that the crashes are related, so it's hardly fitting to dismiss Tesla's approach based on this.
I think it's great that serious efforts are being made in different approaches to autonomous driving - and in this thread's context, it seems possible that Tesla's approach might eventually be revealed as the optimal approach given modern AI.
This is from ten years ago. Tesla's vision only FSD is extremely good now. It has been for at least 18 months or longer.
Only for 2024 or maybe late 2023 cars and later (HW4). The older the car is the worse the FSD software is because the old hardware can't run the latest software.
