FORD MACH-E WILL HAVE HANDS-FREE DRIVING, TIME TO ENABLE DRIVER MONITORING ELON13 Oct 2020 18:45
What 2 vehicles does he make the case with? Both SEE.
I’d really like to see Elon reconsider his position on driver monitoring in Tesla vehicles. With GM and now Ford moving to it, it’s starting to quickly become a trend in the industry. Pretty quickly it’ll feel outdated for Tesla drivers, to be required to hold the wheel, when competitors don’t.
When Full-Self Driving was going to be complete at the end of 2019, spending engineering resources on a temporary problem, did seem like a waste. Now FSD development is taking longer than expected, it’s probably time to rethink it.
Once FSD does arrive, it’ll definitely be far superior to both Supercruise and Ford’s Co-Pilot360, but there is a risk here that Tesla’s decision on driver monitoring starts to feel old, fast.
The big question about Tesla’s interior camera, does it have the resolution necessary to detect decreased blink rates, or would it be restricted to full head movements, like the driver falling asleep.
