Having a front bumper camera may soften the blow of not having the ultrasonic sensors.

In summary:

  • FSD stack is being tested in Europe as a regular Autopilot, it is intended to just replace the old stack and keep the same functionality; the work is still in early stages and will take some time
  • radar in S/X isn't used now and it will be needed to homologate FSD in other markets
  • Model 3, Model Y and Highland will probably not get radar
  • the front bumper camera will appear in other models when Cybertruck launches or a little bit before that
  • the front bumper camera will be connected with the same harness as the front headlights and other front equipment (mentioned in one of the following comments)
