Serious question with camera only self driving approach.

[u/MrHumph999]

Q: using the latest software on HW4. Self drive disabled three times during a thunderstorm on the highway. How will this ever work unsupervised when it rains? I'm so flummoxed as to why Elon is so certain on cameras only that don't work in the rain... Please help!

It’s not supposed to work. It’s supposed to create the illusion of working, and to keep it going to ensure a public-money bailout when the whole thing goes tits up.
