Tesla could be preparing to add a new high-definition radar to vehicles, as seen by @GreenTheOnly on the automaker’s parts catalog. Green also confirmed the piece of hardware with an application to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that matches the Tesla EPC catalog. Many in the thread wondered why Tesla would switch back to radar […]

Tesla began rolling out its Tesla Vision camera-based sensor system last May, and the automaker has now announced plans to begin shifting away from radar in other markets around the world, too. Tesla plans to stop equipping vehicles for European and Middle Eastern markets with radar starting as soon as this month, and will instead […]

Europe is set to get the first Model 3 and Model Y deliveries without radar starting in the second quarter of this year (via @tesla_adri).

A recent update to Tesla’s ‘Transitioning to Tesla Vision’ Support page confirms that all Model S and Model X electric vehicles (EVs) built for the North American market as of mid-February 2022 will not be equipped with radar and will instead transition entirely to the automaker’s camera-based Vision Autopilot system. “As of mid-February 2022, all […]

Earlier this year, Tesla replaced radar on its vehicles with ‘Pure Vision’ cameras, shifting their Autopilot technology’s reliance on data from radar and cameras to data from cameras exclusively.

Tesla hacker @greentheonly is back with more tidbits about the electric vehicle maker’s plan, and this time it involves 4D radar. “On the more surprising front: the sensor types were extended. First, there’s new ultrasonics type Tesla – so they apparently go in-house with the new ones trying to address shortcomings of the existing ones? […]
