Elon Musk definitely seems stubborn with the famous Tesla Vision, that navigation system based solely on cameras, ignoring any external sensor (radar, ultrasound).
Unfortunately for buyers, the system doesn’t seem to be ready yet. As we saw in our article on semi-autonomous driving, certain functions were then restricted, like the distance to the vehicle in front in a traffic jam or even worse, parking in parking lots has become hell for those who no longer have proximity sensors. Many believe that too The car is not as comfortable as before in certain climatic episodes (snow, rain, fog) when it has to do without a driver.
The return of precise measurements
In the update 2022.45.11 Tesla should finally return to normal behavior during complicated maneuvers.
According to a hacker who managed to get into the guts of the system, This version would be far more accurate in determining the distance to objects in front and to the sides of the car.
Until now, the driver was given a completely folkloric distance cue, enough to make him lose patience most of the time. But how does Tesla know if there is a slightly raised stud or pavement in the car? In fact, unlike many manufacturers, there is no camera at the level of the grille, but only at the level of the top of the windshield, which limits the view of the front of the vehicle.
However, on vehicles fitted with ultrasonic sensors, these are not located on the sides and, as such, Tesla Vision could be more effective at judging distances on the sides – very useful when parking on the cob.
At present, The feature only appears to be available for the US and Canada, so you’ll have to wait a bit in Europe. Another requirement, Tesla only offered the thing to those who took the FSD option – 100% autonomous driving. Enough to leave a bitter taste in the mouth for all those who have bought Teslas without this option since 2022, during which time all sensors have been removed.
However, let us be more precise This lack of physical sensors has also limited Auto Exit, Smart Auto Exit, and Auto Park features., with which you can park in and out of your space and even move independently or semi-autonomously in parking lots. Let’s hope Tesla finally fixes the shot quickly…or reverses its original decision after all.
