Concerned over the frequent accidents allegedly involving his autopilot system, Tesla has finally released a driver monitoring system software using its cabin-facing camera, which was originally rejected by CEO Elon Musk Had given. According to the report of the company’s latest driver helping system, Electrek, its purpose is to help ensure that drivers pay attention to the road while using the autopilot.
Tesla said in a statement, “The cabin camera above your rearview mirror can now detect and alert the driver’s inattention when the autopilot is installed. Note that the camera does not leave the data car itself, which means that the system cannot store or transfer information until the data share is enabled. “
The new update coincides with Tesla’s release of its new ‘Vision’ system that relies entirely on computer surveillance using cameras and has no radar.
The cabin-facing camera above the rearview mirror will be active in Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The Model S and Model X vehicles built before 2021 do not yet have cabin cameras. Last year, Tesla activated the camera for the first time in a software update, asking people to allow the automaker to take videos and photos on a voluntary basis to ‘develop safety features in the future’.
Tesla vehicles are far from reaching the level of the automatic system often mentioned by Musk on social media. There have been at least 23 Tesla Autopilot-related accidents, currently being investigated by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Despite the lengthy claims made by Musk on Twitter about full self-driving technology, electric car manufacturer Tesla has privately admitted that such claims do not match the engineering reality.
Tesla vehicles come with a driver assistance system called ‘Autopilot’ which enhances safety and feature behind the wheel. When used properly, autopilot reduces your overall workload as a driver. For an additional $ 10,000, people can buy ‘full self-driving’ or FSD.
