The Thames Valley winter sun and damp roads seem to be causing my Model 3 to disable cruise control etc very frequently when driving into the sun. How can Tesla hope to deliver full self driving in the foreseeable future - or is this just my car?

FSD will use more cameras than TACC/AP will.

...Or park up until the sun's gone down....
There are only 3 cameras with a useful forward view of where the car is going (as opposed to whether other cars etc may come from side roads). As you know they are grouped together with similar elevation views so unless Tesla decides to add extra cameras which they won't reftrofit then no way will that make a difference and anyway all forward facing cameras will suffer the same issue unless theres some new technology allowing them to see against the sun or Tesla adds some other form of sensor, Addiitonal microwaves, radars, sonars will all interfer with other vehicles. So squint technology, long antiglare tubes on a bigger multi-camera array?? Or park up until the sun's gone down....
Do you know what cameras are actually being used for TACC? Do you know what image processing Tesla is performing on each of these cameras to improve dynamic range ? Love to see what they are using. The only thing I have seen is below (from How do Tesla cameras self clean?), but that is before any image processing has been applied other than any colour bias in the camera itself. Plus it does not identify which of the cameras TACC/AP is using vs EAP/FSD although you can probably guess some of them.
I don't, but Tesla seem confident that they have covered all bases so that FSD will be ok with what they are using and whilst I wish there was currently better ability to see through the crap (which they already do with at least one of the cameras as it is focused to see better in certain conditions), when power of HW3 starts being utilised, I am sure we will see dramatic improvements in this area. Already, the car seems to see some things better than I can in marginal conditions and I have pretty good eyesight.
There are a few vids about of the tesla cam interpretations which are certainly technologically clever but you can't beat physics... .
...I've also heard that blind spot etc detection issues will be mitigated in a software update.
