Like Elon’s camera based self driving does it also make a lot of mistakes?

I bet modern radar can tell the difference between a bird, plane, baseball, and missile, but a camera based one is full of false positives.

It might, but I'm not sure how much of an issue a false positive is. It's not like Iran has an airforce and it's not like there a bunch of civilian planes flying over head.

Also, modern radar can't always tell the difference between a bird and a plane. Especially when dealing with stealth vehicles.

Widely available image recognition software can tell the difference between birds, planes, baseballs and missiles already.
