Is there any use to high resolution radar in FSD, or is it just completely unnecessary?

Tesla developed high resolution radar and the hardware is actually present in Model S & X, but it just can’t compare to passive optical (cameras), so we turned it off.
As a side note, any military systems that rely on radar “stealth” technology are toast in a modern conflict, unless in very dense, continuous cloud cover.
A toy AI chip can see you even at night with passive optical, especially if extended to infrared. The aircraft’s heated path through cold air sticks out like a laser beam!
