Not for a very long time. Just think about how big of an advantage lidar and radar are at night or radar is in snow and rain?

If Tesla had been smart they would have used regular cameras and event based cameras where the pixels send a signal whenever their brightness changes enough. These can have microsecond latency. And multi spectral cameras. Combined this data would provide very rich data for neural networks.

I'm not an expert, just someone who understand how these technologies work. Sensor fusion is a fascinating thing.
