So far this year I've had more instances of both Steering and TACC unavailable due to snow or crude blocking the sensors than I think in the two previous winters put together. How will Tesla handle this reliably with the new sensors?

Which tends to say that driverless or AP2 will have some rather huge gaping holes? It may work in ideal conditions but not many conditions less than ideal? Will filling this hole require additional sensors?Bjorn has had this problem with his X. He needs to chip away the snow on the front bumper for the radar to work. I think AP2.0 uses the same radar. Re the cameras: if they get covered, they should be useless.

Right. Now let's see this in actionAll the cameras on AP 2 equipped cars have heaters to melt away any ice/snow that is covering them.
how about salt?All the cameras on AP 2 equipped cars have heaters to melt away any ice/snow that is covering them.
Very nice. Even the rear? I would love that.All the cameras on AP 2 equipped cars have heaters to melt away any ice/snow that is covering them.
My AP1.0 front cam works most of the time in the rain. But in very heavy rain it won't. Radar works just fine.My rear view camera is pretty useless in the rain, let alone ice & snow! Do the AP cameras somehow work with rain?
I would think so. Along with a heck of a lot more processing and AI.Which tends to say that driverless or AP2 will have some rather huge gaping holes? It may work in ideal conditions but not many conditions less than ideal? Will filling this hole require additional sensors?
Anyone take a look at their halogen headlamps after driving in dirty rain or snow? That's what heating will do when you are dealing with dirty spray - it'll just bake it on. There's a long way to go to solve these problems I believe.Ap2. First time in snow. Camera did not melt snow.
how about salt?
Possibly, though the first thing SC asked me when ours disabled and I told them the screen was clean was to check there weren't any water marks or film in front of the camera lens ...In keeping with the headlight thinking.. couldn't this be solved with a high pressure (heated) washer spray?
