The camera module that Samsung will provide has more powerful performance than the camera module currently used in Tesla. Currently, the cameras installed in production cars are 1.2 megapixels, compared with 5 megapixels in Samsung’s products, which is four times higher.

Due to the nature of Tesla’s camera-based driver assistance system, related functions such as FSD are expected to be further improved.

Not only that, but Samsung is also responsible for designing and producing Tesla FSD chips through Samsung Electronics’ foundry division. In addition, it is responsible for supplying major semiconductors such as memory and power management chips (PMC).

At the same time, because it is responsible for the production of electric vehicle-related components such as batteries and displays, some analysts believe that Samsung and Tesla will have a closer cooperative relationship in the future.

In fact, Samsung is definitely a treasure-level supplier to Tesla. From semiconductor parts to power batteries, it can provide almost a complete set of parts and equipment.
