New Jersey bill requiring multiple sensors threatens Tesla's camera-only robotaxis

A proposed New Jersey law would require fully self-driving cars to use cameras along with lidar and radar.

• The bill, scheduled for a vote this year, would require at least two additional sensor technologies beyond cameras.
• Senator Andrew Zwicker, the bill's sponsor, said the legislation is about safety and that a single sensor has not been proven sufficient for all driving situations.
• Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated that radar and lidar are unnecessary and that cameras with artificial intelligence are adequate for autonomous driving.
