Part 9/13:
The debate on Hardware 5 and its specifications is intense. Some expect Tesla to reveal a new sensor suite with improved camera placements, high-resolution radars, and heated sensors for adverse weather performance. Others argue that Tesla’s current hardware already demonstrates sufficient redundancy and coverage, especially with their neural network's ability to stitch the world together seamlessly.
Tesla's current approach seems to emphasize software improvements that make the existing hardware more effective, rather than radical hardware redesigns. The transition to Hardware 5 is expected to unlock superior detection capabilities, particularly in fog, snow, and rain, bringing superior safety levels beyond even human drivers.
