Do check out how the tesla AI is taught.  There are some misconceptions you are not aware of. 
I don’t think Lidar is needed. They already have so much image processing power that soon a foggy keyhole will do.  Again, check out the massive computing power they are throwing at the image processors. 

 

Don't get caught up with the Tesla hype machine.

It's just simple physics. One cannot derive 3D positioning with only 2D image. It's missing the 3rd dimension which Tesla is trying to supplement with radar signals. But radar will never have the same resolution as Lidar. Just physically not possible. You can only resolve something down the the length of a wave. 

Tesla can throw all the computing power exist now and in the future and it still won't happen. No amount of processing power can up scale a 640x480 image to that of a 4K image.
