To be fair, I'd be surprised if half the humans driving didn't do the same.

A fitting metaphor for Musky and their involvement with the US government.
Yep, I could see someone placing a billboard like that with a cliff behind it.
Can this be solved with just cameras, or would this need additional hardware? I know they removed LIDAR, but thought that would only be effective short range, and would not be too helpful at 65 km/h.
Teslas never had LIDAR. They did have ultrasonic sensors and radar before they went to the this vision only crap.
If for some bizarre reason you would want to stick to cameras only, you could use 2 cameras and calculate the distance to various points based on the difference between the images. Thats called stereoscopy and is precisely what gives our brains depth perception. The issue is that this process is expensive computationally so I'd guess that it would be cheaper to go back to lidar.

Theoretically yes, but in reality, not with current technology.
but thought that would only be effective short range
LIDAR actually has quite a long range. You can look up some of the images LIDAR creates, they're pretty comprehensive.
