Скачать или смотреть JUST IN! Tesla’s Camera-Based Driver Monitoring Rolls Out to Radar-Equipped Cars

Just hours ago Tesla has started rolling out its camera-based driver monitoring system to its radar-equipped vehicles as part of software update 2021.32.5. Tesla's camera-based driver monitoring system adds another layer of safety for the company’s vehicles, particularly when drivers are using Autopilot and Full Self-Driving suite features.

Tesla's cabin camera saw more use this past May when it was used as a driver monitoring system, though only for the company’s pure vision vehicles. Tesla hacker-owner @greentheonly, after exploring the company’s software, previously noted that the camera-based driver monitoring system uses neural networks to watch out for potentially dangerous driver behaviors. These behaviors included using a mobile device or looking away from the road while using Autopilot.

"Based on reports from Model 3 and Model Y owners with radar-equipped vehicles, it appears that the camera-based driver monitoring system is now being rolled out to more members of Tesla’s fleet. Tesla Model Y owner @jayanthvignesh, whose vehicle is equipped with radar, noted that the feature seems to work pretty well, prompting him to stay alert when he kept his head down while operating his vehicle. The Tesla owner added that he also received a quick alert after he peeked into his phone while waiting at a red light," explains Simon Alvarez of Teslarati.

Tesla rolling out a camera-based driver monitoring system to radar-equipped vehicles should definitely help reduce the number of instances where "a Tesla on AP runs into a stationary emergency vehicle" (aka the driver isn't paying attention).

However, there is an opinion that it won't reduce the number of media stories about that. Press stories don't typically bother to investigate whether AP was engaged or not. It's routinely assumed AP is on for every Tesla accident.
