    I have used both. Even under ideal conditions the cameras only is noticeably worse.

    I recall parking in a parking lot and the camera systems showed that I was hitting a car while I was about a foot away from it. Lidar did not have any issues like that. And it was a perfectly sunny day.

      So Tesla hasn’t used lidar, and have disabled the front-radar for a while now. Though lately they decided to drop ultrasonic sensors and I think it’s crap for parking right now. I suspect the cameras were not laid out to handle this use.

      If you have a hard requirement on tight parking, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere or trying it with a trial first…
