For the existing fleet, they only have the existing wiring to deal with. Hence, I don't see a new A-Pillar camera being an option.

The changed the front of the repeater from chrome to black. I think this hints at adding a camera someday in the future.

I'll be interested to see the camera decisions in the cyber truck.

Tesla FSD is getting pretty good, and it has two massive blind spots from the lack of forward looking repeater camera. It is also using a computer from 3.5 years ago ((introduced 2019-03)[https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/tesla_(car_company)/fsd_chip])

I think if they make new repeaters with forward looking cameras, and perhaps a new computer behind the glovebox they should be able to pull it off.

The current FSD 3 computer is backwards compatible with FSD 2 wiring (introduced 2016-10).

I hate to say it, but for a while post singularity stepper motors will still be more expensive than humans wearing augmented reality glasses. I expect 15 hour work weeks doing tasks like folding laundry , making burritos, stocking shelves. and cleaning hotel rooms. It will be like the beginning of Manna.
