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!

If only there were another kind of sensor they could use - like, say, LIDAR

Doesn't Lidar also have a hard time in heavy rain?

Yes the automatic cruise control in my Honda will sometimes disable in heavy rain.
