Tesla has at all times used lidar to calibrate autopilot and FSD. That is one legitimate use-case for lidar. Hinrichs Zanegler has revealed movies of the Tesla Semi beginning robotrucking assessments.
The prototype manufacturing is scaling up as Zanegler reveals footage of 23 Tesla Semis parked collectively. Tesla is scaling up to a couple hundred serial manufacturing of the Tesla Semi.
Tesla is constructing the principle Tesla Semi manufacturing unit in Nevada which is able to be capable of make 50,000 Tesla Semi annually.
Tesla Semi changing the driving force and enabling platooning (mechanically following a truck with a human driver) would take away the $60,000-120,000 price of the human driver. The Tesla Semi electrical energy prices are about 70-80% lower than the price of diesel.
Tesla Semi Testing FSD / Autopilot?
This Engineering Tesla Semi with sensors that doubtless embrace lidar was noticed close to Giga Nevada.
Is that this semi driving itself or simply gathering knowledge? 📊 pic.twitter.com/y6jh5r6jGV
