"The vehicle seems to be equipped with at least 6 cameras and 2 different sensors. 3 forward looking cameras, one on each side and one in the back." - it looks more like 5 cameras in the front, if you include the stereo cameras fitted in the middle of the screen under the autopilot camera.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was related to DrivePX (& Model X) testing, or this Bosch system which also uses a stereo front camera.

Not sure if this is new info, but couldn't find anything related after searching.

More pictures over on Imgur.


 
Mobileye's EyeQ4 can process 8 cameras (Tesla uses Mobileye)

Moving Closer to Automated Driving, Mobileye Unveils EyeQ4® System-on-Chip with its First Design Win for 2018 - Mobileye

The EyeQ4® will accept multiple camera inputs from a trifocal front-sensing camera configuration, surround-view-systems of four wide field of view cameras, a long range rear-facing camera and information from multiple radars and scanning beam lasers scanners. Taken together, the EyeQ4® will be processing a safety “cocoon” around the vehicle – essential for autonomous driving.
