Every input a Tesla takes — from the road beneath it or the person inside it — is a signal your hardware has to get right. The road pushes back through the steering rack; a driver reaches for a button without looking. Both are physical acts the car must read perfectly, millions of times a day — and both come down to the same craft: translating force, torque, position, and proximity into a signal the car can act on. Vehicle-dynamics sensing — handwheel angle/position, steering torque, rack position, suspension travel, wheel speed, brake pad position and pressure, inertial state — feeds FSD and vehicle control. As the chassis moves to steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, and active suspension, these signals lose their mechanical fallback — your sensor becomes the safety-critical source of truth, and it has to be right every time. Human-interaction sensing — solid-state buttons, capacitive touchpads, electromechanical door handles and switches, stalk and seat sensors, proximity sensors —...
