A 30% reduction in sensor spend is now achievable for fleets that replace traditional 150 mm lidar with 70 mm units, according to 2024 Continental data. The shift comes from slimmer optics, lower power draw and streamlined manufacturing, allowing operators to keep full self-drive performance while freeing capital for other
autonomous vehicles
Answer: Tesla Model Y FSD certification can lower fleet insurance premiums by providing documented safety data and compliance with emerging driver-assistance standards. The certification adds a layer of verified software performance that insurers can factor into risk models, potentially reducing costs for fleets that adopt it. In practice, the difference
