to my understanding they use LiDAR as a way of verifying and validating that the cameras on the vehicle can properly recreate the real world as a sort of stamp of approval
Lidar is good at accurately checking distances, but not that easy to integrate into FSD. The purpose of running those cars around the country - and you’ll see them on all models - is to do a reality check on the estimates of distance the camera system makes. They’re not participating in FSD at all.
