Tesla is already shipping cars without radar sensors

Tesla is also only making it available at an (unspecified) longer minimum following distance to any cars in front. Tesla didn’t offer any more information about when it would stop building radar sensors in the Model S and Model X, or the vehicles it’s building in China. Those redesigned versions have been delayed, though a launch event for the new Model S is scheduled for next week. Radar sensors are common in many modern passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs. While modern cars also pull data from other sensors — including cameras — to power these features, automakers like to have multiple types to make sure that there’s redundancy.
