The Hacksmith crew is back at it again, and this time, they built a half-scale Cybertruck with a tri-motor design that can drive itself. It boasts a single rear motor and two front motors that generate over 1,000 foot-pounds of torque combined, paired with 100 kWh batteries from a Tesla Model S.
As for the charging system, it relies on a conversion process from AC to 48 VDC, all managed by a dedicated Battery Management System (BMS), while a Teensy microcontroller is used for processing, control, handling CAN bus communications as well as PWM signals. The team then added a Pixhawk 6C for advanced control, interfacing with a GPS module and a Herelink video transmission system, enabling RC control and HD video feeds.

Finally, a [NVIDIA] Jetson Xavier does all of the heavy computational lifting for the autonomous system. When all was said and done, the Cybertruck demonstrated its autonomous ability by handling complex maneuvers and adapting to varying terrains,” said the Hacksmith Team.
