    Yes, a camera is technically a sensor

    Which was all I stated, but somehow people disagree with facts here.

    Edit: and you actually easily can measure distance quite accurately with cameras in a stereoscopic setup, but of course this is not what Tesla does, despite having several forward-facing cameras.

        No it adds precision and accuracy to the words used. These things matter when it comes to forming specific meanings in a purely text-based environment where people share little (or none at all) common understanding or biases.

          In your initial response, you acknowledged that you understood what was meant by “sensors” in the context of the comment, but then the rest of your response was dismissive in tone, and implied that you believe their statement to be incorrect despite your previous acknowledgement. Your follow-up responses are doubling-down on this.

          As others have pointed out, arguing about the canonical definition of the word “sensor” is not adding anything to the discussion around the potential cause of the collision.
