Like I said, there's really no saying how closely the sensor diagram on the Autopilot description page matches the real camera coverage, but take a look at it.EAP does not need the B pillar cameras IMO since those point straight out at a 90 degree and are probably more useful for seeing cross traffic at intersections (A FSD requirement but not an EAP one). The rear facing side cameras would be enough for EAP to see blind spots, I think.

The 2 forward looking side cameras cover an area that no other camera appears to cover. The rear camera covers almost the full span of the 2 rearward looking side cameras, albeit with less range.
Personally, I think they're just going to use all 8 cameras for EAP and FSD features.
