(copy from the FSD thread) Lets summarize...
In this tweet, @verygreen is saying/implying that Tesla would be embarrassed and thus has to "save face" by hiding info of how this particular radar sees the world... because it resembles how lidar sees the world..


Now, for the same summary in pictures

Paywall article talks about 4D radar coming.
German Continental and San Jose, Calif., Xilinx are working to bring 4D imaging radar to production to support new-generation driver-assist systems and autonomous-driving vehicles.
4D radar can gauge relative speed, range and elevation allowing determination of height of a highway overpass. The companies say that by incorporating Xilinx's 16-nanometer system-on-chip technology, Continental's high-resolution radar sensor vision can be precise at 300 meters.

Waste of resources. Radar is dumb. All you need for FSD is a couple of crappy cell phone cameras and some neural nets. Puts on Xilinx.
