Tesla Secures Camera Module Supply Deal With Samsung Worth $4 Billion | Carscoops carscoops
LG Innotek will still supply 20 percent of the cameras for the system, but Samsung will supply the majority of 80 percent as per the agreement. The cameras will be used in every Tesla model, namely the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and the upcoming Cybertruck.
Cameras are a huge part of Tesla’s technological advancement, utilizing them for its Full Self Driving system to create imagery for its “neural nets”, rather than using Lidar or radar as other automakers do. Eight cameras with an estimated 1.2 million megapixels are used for the latest version of FSD, and a switch to Samsung cameras could bump that number up to 5 million megapixels, representing a huge increase in image quality.
The investment seems to double down on Tesla’s plan to achieve self-driving with solely camera-based vision, despite recent reports that the brand had filed with the FCC to use a new radar system.
