Tesla FSD spots oncoming cars through sun glare, credits photon count reconstruction

A user shared a clip of Tesla FSD handling direct sunlight on the camera: while the human driver couldn't see an oncoming car until the last moment due to glare, FSD detected it early and handled the scenario smoothly. Tesla's official account amplified the clip with a nod to "photon count reconstruction," suggesting its vision stack rebuilds from photon-level signals to stay robust against blinding sunlight.
