There's some Tesla-specific content: Urmson argues against ADAS/L2/L3 as a safe or productive avenue for development. He also argues that, while camera-based driving has an existence proof, lidar is the better path because development goes faster and the increased value of L4/L5 will easily cover the cost of the sensor.
