isn't that more a consequence of them using a cameras-only approach vs. Waymo/others who have other sensing-modalities to fall back on (lidar mainly)?
Your information seems to be outdated, unless every single street I’ve been on for the past year is “vetted”. All the other (consumer) car brand’s self-driving systems do have that limitation though, maybe that's where the confusion came from. Tesla is self-driving 98% of my mileage, with the 2% being when I take over to choose a specific parking spot or I’m towing/carrying something big.
Don’t know much about how it does in the rain since moving to SoCal but in clear weather it hasn’t come close to hitting anyone yet. Even proactively warned me a few times while I was driving. Maybe I should let it take over in parking lots too :)
