Actually, they did not announce a major change. We all were waiting for ap 2.0 (the press release calls the current as "first generation ap"). Do we have 2.0 now? No. Just the infrastructure of it. As Elon stated, every new sensor config requires millions of miles before making it public so we are equally far away from ap2.0 as yesterday. The bad thing with pre-selling the equipment is, if they realise something needs to be changed or readjusted with hardware, like sensor positions etc, they can't do anything since thousands will be on roads already, and we have to use the system with its late-revealed shortcomings. This way, we are becoming paying beta testers of both hardware and software configurations.
On the positive side, no doubt the vehicle become more aware of its environment thanks to increased number of cams and sensors, a clear, distinct advantage, even without AP, surely it will carry us safer then before. In this point I wonder if which other safety systems are able to use this new equipment set and how..?
