Tesla retires ultrasonic sensors in new cars with new camera tech

Elon Musk-run Tesla has announced to retire ultrasonic sensors in its cars that sense objects around them.

The company said it will now shift towards placing camera-only Tesla Vision Safety technology in its cars.

“In 2021, we began our transition to Tesla Vision by removing radar from Model 3 and Model Y, followed by Model S and Model X in 2022. Today, in most regions around the globe, these vehicles now rely on Tesla Vision, our camera-based Autopilot system,” said the company.

Tesla plans to stop including the sensors in Model S and Model X cars next year.
