They aren’t wrong. Camera systems do have a lot of issues. Calling someone stupid for pointing that out is absurd.
Cameras can mess up when they’re dirty, when it’s raining, when it’s dark, when there’s glare.
Image processing and recognition is also a hell of a lot slower and more computationally expensive than numbers from a LIDAR system.

Everybody is aware it’s not going to be flawless out of the gate, or perhaps ever. That’s not the point.
They’re saying using cameras and only cameras is a bad idea and makes “Autopilot” inherently subpar in situations where cameras don’t work so well.

Never go full fanboy… try actually understanding what people are telling you, why fail safes are good idea, why redundancy systems are implemented, etc.
Your anecdotal experience of “I drive in fog and rain and its been good” means nothing…

Except for when it doesn’t and the car plows straight into the back of a lorry. Or runs over a teenager getting off a school bus. Etc.

No, as per Tesla’s marketing, they are driver replacements

Are you serious?
Autopilot
Full Self Driving
“Our cars will travel from the east coast to west coast of the US without any human intervention by 2017”
“Your model 3 will be like an automated taxi earning money for you while you’re not using it!”
Etc.
Tesla is always making out like their cars can drive themselves and it’s just the law that’s preventing cars from driving themselves about unaided.
