Why is Cybertruck’s Autopilot and FSd application delayed?
Elon Continues To Talk Of Possibility Of Licensing For FSd Other Companies
Doesn’t it sound weird? Does it license fsd, which is difficult to easily apply to Tesla’s own products?
Among Tesla’s lineup, the fsd-capable models are 3, Y, S and X, and the demantions of these models are clearly different
And if you look at the use of various users, you can see that the vehicle width detection performance of fsd is different for each type of vehicle
Therefore, it is understood that the Tesla team will spend a lot of time calibrating each vehicle type
Licensing fsd in this situation would have catastrophic consequences
This is because the Tesla team and the client must calibrate different form factors for each model of other brands daily
And this approach is not scalable because it becomes more complex as the number of clients increases
Though modules like MobileEye are already being developed in this way, they are far from Tesla’s efficiency-seeking style
And simply to apply Autopilot and FSd as calibration, it doesn’t take too long to apply that feature to Cybertruck
So what does it mean?
Currently, Tesla is likely developing its fsd configurator
By systemizing fsd, calibration is automated simply by entering information from different form factors
And the first model to test this system would be a Cybertruck
I think this is the most reasonable guess explaining Cybertruck Autopilot and the fsd delay
In addition, if these configurators are not developed and fsd licensing is not performed, the client will inevitably be very burdened and reluctant
Which company would like to reveal to its competitors the sizes and details of each model to be developed in the future? This is not an easy hurdle because it is close to leaking corporate strategies
So the configurator could be this solution
And this is an important factor in enabling licensing to scale at a very high rate
