Huh, pretty sure Lars said that Tesla cars have had in cabin radar for a few years now. Is that the same as the HD radar? Ditto goes for the headlights, can’t wait for them to get activated or whatever the proper term is.

Can't wait until US owners eventually join the complaint after realizing that flashing at cars instantly disables adaptive headlights, until you go to the headlights menu, deactivate and then reactivate auto-headlights. Oh, which you can only do after disengaging autopilot.
All so dangerous, because you have to do it at high speed, at night, in low visibility most likely (otherwise you wouldn't need adaptive headlights).
Incredibile, 1+ year like this and it's still here...

Hopefully that'll all be fixed SOON.

Yes, imagine being pitch dark, having to tap the light icon, then 10cm to the right somewhere down identify the blue icon, try to quickly disable it for re-enabling it, cursing because you realized autopilot on prevents you from doing it, disabling autopilot, finding again that blue icon, toggling and if you haven't hit a deer meanwhile due to the distraction, re-enable autopilot.

Of course, the alternative is flashing again (still after disabling autopilot), which would only make you feel stupid and being perceived as such by others, possibly in a 1-lane 2-way road, where you need adaptive lights the most to cope with incoming lights and the contrast of pitch black darkness.
