As title says... If that sensor isn't used anymore, I would possibly remove it and reduce weight. A lighter car is a faster and more efficient car

Can we remove our radars now, since they're not used anymore?

I'm sure this will stir some people. But no, not really. I'm serious that if something isn't necessary in my car, might as well remove it. It's hidden under the bumper anyway so it doesn't change the looks of the car. It's not like I can decide to use it again, Tesla gets to decide that.
EDIT: If it weighs under a pound it's probably not necessary... I'm assuming it weighs a few pounds so it might make a difference. People have relocated 12V batteries to change weight distribution in a car, or changed to a lighter one to save a few pounds. I don't race but I'll take what I can get, especially free.

Well, people talk about "weight savings" for the 12v battery as if that is somehow going to make the car faster, but even if it weight 5 lbs your own weight probably changes that much (up and down) during any given week, so i struggle to see where this would even be a little bit of a concern.
To each their own though.

If that's the case, a healthy dump just before driving should be the same.

0-60 with radar still installed ... 3.256238 seconds
0-60 with radar removed ... 3.256237 seconds
*boom*

So we have learned that throwing dead weight in the trunk
may give you more traction, it will hurt the 0-60 times.
A good subway should weigh more than radar, eat it after
the track. Fill the car with chickens a flapping bingo mr 0-60.
