Tesla's Self-Driving Dreams Remain Elusive Despite Promises and Setbacks

Tesla's self-driving ambitions have been hindered by Elon Musk's "erratic leadership style," high staff turnover, and a stubborn insistence on doing things differently, according to insiders. Musk's refusal to fit his cars with radar that can scan the road ahead and detect hazards has also slowed progress on the technology. Tesla's reliance on cameras alone brings about further risks of errors, making the cars susceptible to basic perception errors every time the cameras were obscured by everything from a squished bug to rain or sunshine.
