Hours ago we learned that that Tesla may integrate Sony's IMX490 camera, which has mind-blowing specs, with outstanding HDR capabilities.

According to Twitter blogger Chris Zheng, who has connections with some Tesla suppliers, Tesla is planning to use Sony's new IMX490 automotive sensor in their upcoming hardware 4.0 revision.

Not A Tesla App website says, "This new sensor offers many benefits over the current sensors that Tesla uses in their vehicles. The new sensors support a much higher resolution of 2896x1876. That's 5.4 megapixels compared to the 1.2 megapixels that Tesla's current front-facing cameras support. At more than four times the resolution of current sensors, these new sensors will allow Tesla to more accurately detect objects that are required for FSD. Detecting road edges and lane markings that are further away are especially difficult."

The news source also says, "The new wide-angle sensor may also allow Tesla to drop the number of cameras used in the front-facing module. Due to the higher resolution in these sensors, Tesla may be able to use this wide-angle sensor to interpret objects that previously required the use of the standard or telephoto lenses before. This may allow Tesla to reduce the number of cameras that are required in the front of the vehicle from three down to two or even a single lens."

Some people say this is a rumor. Others say, this is not a rumor! The HW4.0 camera will use Samsung components and Sony IMX490 photosensitive components.
