There is a huge difference between Autopilot (basically hasn't been updated in like four years) and FSD. Autopilot is basically just glorified lane keeping while FSD attempts to drive end to end (stop signs, traffic lights, etc.).

Not sure how it would change this test though. FSD is much more vision based than Autopilot.

Yes, FSD is built on a completely different software stack.

FSD is much more vision based than Autopilot.

No. They're both 100% vision-based.

Perhaos these days. Older Testas (including my Model 3) shipped with forward mounted radar which was still active until the last year I think.

Yes, inactive, thus not relevant
