Whats truly fucked up about Teslas is they have hundred camers inside and outside the car,
No, they do not.
They have a total of 8. They're the equivalent of a Ring doorbell camera in that they're fisheyed to achieve a 360 degree view outside the car. There are no cameras inside the car at all.
They also have what they call ultrasonic sensors. It's actually just basic radar that everybody uses for self adjusting cruise control.
The biggest problem with Tesla's system that will in all likelihood prevent it from ever becoming truly autonomous is that it can't tell what anything is. The competition (Uber, Google, etc.) are all developing Lidar, which can.
Example: Let's say that across a road you have in thirds a section of water bottles, a shower curtain, and a brick wall and a given car is barreling towards it at 80 mph.
The Tesla has no idea what any of it is. It simply sees a wall all the way across the road and will hammer the brakes to try to stop and wind up hitting whatever it hits.
A car with Lidar will be able to tell the water bottles from the shower curtain from the brick wall and will begin slowing down but aim towards the shower curtain knowing that it's the path of least resistance.
That is why you find so many Tesla cars crashing on autopilot - their stupid owners bought into the "Musk is God" narrative that his cars are invincible and they wind up dying in droves because Tesla's ill branded autopilot system is about as far away from a true autopilot as you can get.
Many other manufacturers (Volvo, Cadillac, BMW, etc.) all have similar systems that they brand as 'driver assist' for that very reason. In fact, Cadillac's is actually superior to Tesla's.
