Didn't Waymo start with assisting drivers though? Like I get it, fuck this shitstain, but this seems like a very reasonable approach to self driving cars.

Step 1: Prove the concept in a closed environment.
Step 2: Prove the concept in an open environment, but with traning wheels in case something goes wrong.
Step 3: After extensive testing in step 2, full rollout of final product.

Elon made the intentional decision to NOT use LIDAR because he's a cheapskate and unwilling to take input. He is not using an even remotely reasonable approach. He chose not to use a reasonable approach on purpose.
