Radar bad, it's called ionising radiation.
Sorry chap, but I think you've got it wrong on that one.
Really need 3D vision
Yes, this is exactly what all these systems are doing. Taking data from various sources to build an accurate 3D abstraction of the world, so that the job of programming how to drive around can be dealt with in a predictable manner.
We've all played racing games, so we know how good computers can be at driving when they know the circuit down to the smallest detail. We just need to get the real world represented in the same kind of way. If that means lidar, radar, cameras, and everything else in between to build up that map, with those involved collaborating and sharing knowledge, then all the better.
