Fog can cause a Camera obstruction message to appear

[LucidNC]

Today, I was driving in heavy fog and I kept getting an error message (on left side panel .. where trip distance is displayed) that my "Front camera was obstructed" .. then it would disappear. I wasn't quick enough to take a photo.

Obviously, didn't cause any issues, but never saw that before and thought I'd share.

I’ve seen it when parked in front of a very high parking curb too. It goes away as soon as it’s unblocked. Makes sense that fog would obstruct the camera!

Incidentally, another reason why vision only FSD will never work for level 3 ADAS on Tesla.
