With respect to Radar vs Vision. I have a 2018 with Radar and a 2022 without radar, i.e. vision only. Two main things I have noticed:
1 - For a chosen setting the following distance of Radar is much more consistent, versus Vision that seems more squishy. Although not a huge deal.
2 - The biggest difference I have seen with AP without radar is that it only reacts to the car directly in front of me. I.e. the following distance on freeway with no radar does not account for another car in front of the car that is directly in front of me. With the 2018, if the 1st car directly in front of me was too close to the 2nd car in front of it the following distance would increase. Also if the 2nd car started to brake my 2018 would start braking even before the 1st car directly in front of me started to brake. Which overall felt safer to me.
