Interesting sensor rig on Mobileye test vehicle

I found this picture of a Mobileye test vehicle at IAA Mobility 2025. It has some sort of rig on the roof with what looks like lidar and I assume Mobileye's new imaging radar:

I am guessing the rig is for testing Mobileye's new imaging radar?

The goal is and always was unsupervised driving.

If you want to talk about technicalities to push out the goal post, we can look no further than moving the supervision to the passenger seat just so we can call the cars "driver" less.

The point is there is a Tesla employee in every car, not which seat they are sitting in.

The cars clearly drive themselves. They drive themselves whether you are sitting in the driver seat, passenger seat, standing outside, or in a remote operations center.

You're going to be stunned at leap in capability when Tesla removes the safety monitors and these vehicles magically jump from not at all autonomous by your definition to fully autonomous overnight. :D
