Two Tesla semi trucks showcase advanced technological features and safety innovations, including a sensor suite that can detect obstacles from 250 meters away.
Tesla's also seen as spreading a similar technological red carpet on the road. For example, a semi-truck's innovation of road safety and cost efficiency. The Semi boasts a cutting-edge sensor suite with LiDAR radar and cams that allow it to see two hundred and fifty meters in all directions, allowing it to see and avoid obstacles quite far ahead. Now, picture your truck seeing obstacles over 2 football fields away. That's the level of awareness we're talking about here.

The speaker discusses the advantages of Tesla's Full Self-Driving system for the Semi, emphasizing safety improvements and potential cost savings for fleet operators.
Although it may not be immediately apparent, FSD could well prove to have numerous advantages for Tesla Semi. We're not talking just vaporware, either. Tesla FSD's system has been long worked on for models like the Model Three and Y, as well as Cybertruck. FSD version 12 launched back in September, and now Semi can go longer in autonomous mode without human intervention, making it a great choice for long hauls. Due to the majority of crashes being caused by humans, that's 94 percent, FSD will be possible for a huge reduction in risk per mile, meaning a safer road. Additionally, the tech could save fleet operators a fortune by cutting costs by as much as 20 percent. Beyond avoiding unnecessary stops, FSD encourages more efficient routes and enables you to prioritize high-priority tasks, in turn taking away your downtime, all while keeping trucks rolling with optimized start-stop operations.
