>Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Cars
>All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.
How was it possible to know in advance what hardware will be required?
- TylerLives 6y agoWhat would they need the better hardware for?
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoIf they haven't achieved full self driving, how could they know, and hence claim, to have the necessary hardware?
- lawn 6y agoBetter sensors, which has already been one of the reasons for some of Tesla's self-driving crashes.
- paulcole 6y agoI don’t know, but Tesla took that text off their Autopilot page in late 2019, so maybe something changed…
- kingsuper20 6y ago>How was it possible to know in advance what hardware will be required? I suspect that most of the hardware is the ability of a computer to drive the car. Steering/throttle/braking inputs for example. It could be that what you mean by 'hardware' is some combination of intelligence and sensor system.
- paulcole 6y agoRegardless of what I might mean by “hardware”, is there any way Tesla should be stating as fact that the cars coming off the line in 2019 (when I took that quote from) need no additional hardware to accomplish something that is years (if not decades) away from becoming reality?
