Not until someone is smart enough to solve the sensor fusion challenge.
Maybe they'll restore this blog post.

Upgrading Autopilot: Seeing the World in Radar
While there are dozens of small refinements with Version 8 of our software, described in addendum below, the most significant upgrade to Autopilot will be the use of more advanced signal processing to create a picture of the world using the onboard radar. The radar was added to all Tesla...

Waymo, Cruise, Zoox, Aurora, Motional, Baidu, Mobileye and others have all solved the sensor fusion challenge.

Given the higher cost for the HD radar compared to the crap one that has been in the existing fleet, it's likely this unit will be dedicated to the robotaxi model at first.
I believe MobilEye has this approach as well. They have a vision-only offering, as well as a decked-out sensor application.

I thought Elon said Vision only is superior to every other solution, and that tesla would never use radar/lidar or anything other than vision for AP/FSD/EAP/ABCDEF
The data does not indicate this is an imaging radar. It has four antennas boresighted at zero degrees azimuth and elevation and 48 deg azimuth beamwidth. I expect it takes quite a few more antenna elements to get a good phased array for imaging
Perhaps this is a replacement for the current radar to resolve an obsolescence issue..

But on the other hand it is a Phoenix radar (FCC test reports says Tesla provided them with software called "Phoenix FCC Tester"). and Phoenix radar is that thingie from Arbe Robotics, except this one does not seem to be the "full" one, just maybe the "starter" edition with reduced capabilities (how much reduced remains to be seen)
yup. can't wait to quote all these fans parroting vision only and "if sensors disagree which do you trust" nonsense.
yup, its going to be inferior to what other SDC companies are using (Waymo, Mobileye, Cruise, etc) even if its the full or reduced version.

old in what sense?
You don't need FCC registration for test samples I think. This is preparations for actual deploy to actual cars in customer hands.

He was mentioning something like filed in ‘18 ? I need to watch it again to be sure - around 17:19.
that's the regulations version or some such they conform to based on the screenshot I saw
