I often wonder how Tesla will make use of Starlink. Such a huge data stream up and down will enable all sorts of interesting things. Maybe each car won't need a brain, maybe one huge brain will drive all cars. Sync all the cars up, make them act like a single giant distributed being.

No single meta-brain, but I could see Tesla offering internet access inside your car instead of current LTE/ 5G solutions.

Except tunnels.

What happens when the car goes into a tunnel?

You lose connectivity for sixty seconds.

Wow your tunnels are short.

I routinely drive through a tunnel that’s 4.5km long, sometimes at 30kph due to traffic.

Starlink pizza boxes and repeaters on the ends and throughout.
