    • How weather conditions like fog, sun glare, and dust may challenge the system’s capabilities.
  3. Tesla’s Self-Driving Claims vs. Reality:

    • Elon Musk’s bold promises about autonomous driving, including the Cybercab robotaxi prototype.
    • Tesla’s reliance on camera-based systems and why experts say it might not be enough.
    • How Tesla’s competitors use lidar and radar for improved performance in challenging conditions.
  4. Legal and Regulatory Challenges:

    • Overview of Tesla’s ongoing legal issues, including lawsuits and a DOJ investigation.
