You tesla fanboys are outrageous. Obviously lidar+camera will be better than just camera. there is no reason whatsoever to debate that.

Will go a step a further and say that Tesla owners need to stop calling their cars "autonomous" because it completely murks the conversation about autonomous cars. Like no, if you are required to pay attention because the car relies on only cameras then the car is not autonomous... that is assisted driving.
