There's a stretch of freeway that I have been driving about twice a month for the last year. There's one spot where I am consistently in the middle of 3 lanes, and the AP would drift the car into the right lane (well marked lanes, flat road, no reason that I can tell as to why it lost the lane)...

The front camera is illuminated at night by the headlights. If the sides were cameras, they'd be blind on a dark stormy night. They would also be subject to rain splattering obscuring the view since they are down low and are not cleared by a wiper. Ever look at the rear camera after a hard rain...

Would I be correct in assuming that this type of jamming would also interfere with Tesla and other semi-autonomous driving vehicles that are using radar to track the distance to the car in front of them? For oncoming traffic the severity of that interference would depend on the jammer's range...

Make that 9 -- got notice today of my car entering production, delivery will be to Seattle. How many cars do they need before the truck heads out?

Having gotten my 240 outlet installed, I figured I'd better practice charging while I waited for my Tesla to arrive... :-)
