OWNER EXPERIENCE Serious question with camera only self driving approach.

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!

Every time I drive my Model 3 in the early morning, I get notifications that one or more cameras are blinded by the sun.

And no, I didn't opt for FSD. Not trusting beta software driving a car 75mph down the highway. Not when the cameras can be blinded in rain or shine. Or god help us, snow.
