Both require electronic safety systems for the top safety designations. Consumer Reports says that removing radar and relying on cameras means the safety features may not be there when needed. But critics have said that even with radar, Tesla doesn’t have the right sensors for self-driving vehicles. Tesla’s Autopilot system has had trouble spotting fixed objects and tractor-trailers turning in front of its vehicles.
