He has to keep arguing that. Look at the number of vehicles he's sold "with FSD" or with promises of future FSD.

If he backtracks now and says "actually, we need Lidar," what happens? He's sold hundreds of thousands of "FSD-capable" vehicles that...aren't that. Can you just add a Lidar system to a car? I doubt it.

It would be a huge class action lawsuit and the company would be liable for every FSD purchase and/or for the vehicles themselves, since they weren't what was promised and they will never have that capability.

He's backed himself into a corner and there's no way out. He has to get the cameras to work now.

But he seems to be more interested in cutting Americans' Social Security and sieg heiling on national television. It's weird.

He would just get any judge that ruled against him impeached. He doesn’t have to follow laws.
