Samsung's camera modules will be used by Tesla's latest electric vehicle that was unveiled in November 2019, the reports claimed.

The prototype vehicle showcased on stage wasn't equipped with conventional rearview mirrors, but instead, it used an array of cameras connected to the dashboard's displays.

The production model shouldn't be all that different from the original prototype and these reports further confirm that the Cybertruck will have a mirrorless design.

The partnership between the two companies isn't new.

Earlier, Samsung has supplied Tesla with other EV-related technologies before, including batteries, and reports indicate that the new PixCell LED headlamp developed by Samsung will also be used by Tesla for its future EVs.

Tesla is believed to have close to 1 million reservations for the Cybertruck at this point.
