2020.12.5

I just updated to 2020.12.5 last night and my release notes mentioned updates to driving visualizations; specifically traffic cones being rendered on screen.
I have a 2018 (Dec) Model 3 MR with HW2.5 and I thought rendering of traffic cones wasn't supported on my cars HW? I do have EAP and FSD, but have not yet been upgraded to HW3.

I realize this, but connecting via bluetooth or phone hotspot makes the video replay stop way too often to be useful. I do agree the playback is great when connected to home WiFi, as long as the car has a strong WiFi signal.
Roadie's best feature is firmware upgradability. But there's not much they can do about bandwidth, and you need a LOT of bandwidth to stream four videos simultaneously. Of greater concern is the microSD failing too quickly.

Why? I'd think if slowing down the video is critical, it's best done by direct connection to a PC. I'm not debating it would be a nice feature, but I'd rather them work on optimizing playback to it doesn't drop frames.

If you’re trying to show police etc a license plate that’s only visible for a few frames it’s a whole lot easier if it’s in slow-mo.

I think the Roadie (which is a Raspberrypi zero W) is a great accessory for someone who’s not very tech savvy and just wants a working recording solution. I’m surprised though that it doesn’t allow for a direct WiFi connection with their app? I’d think that’d be way quicker than a Bluetooth connection? I have a Raspberrypi zero w that I configured with the marcone teslausb build (many many thanks for doing this) and this build has the option to connect with the Pi directly through WiFi when on the road. Hopefully the new app sentryai will have this option soon so we can connect directly through the app.
I think the killer feature would be to "jump to triggering event" in the sentry video. Or if manually checking on another device, have the seconds value in the filename of the corresponding camera that got triggered. So for example, the filename is the timestamp plus '43s'. Then you open the file and manually go to 0:43 in the video to see the triggering event.
Interesting. When I still had HW2.5 until about a month ago, I never saw cones rendered. My car also didn't try to avoid them when on AP.
After the upgrade to HW3, I was able to see cones, even though the firmware version remained the same (2020.4.1 at the time). I did buy FSD software before delivery.
Tesla may have found a way to render and act upon cones with HW2.5, which is cool for those who don't have HW3 or FSD.
Thanks for sharing release notes, by the way!

Greentheonly mentioned this (cone visualization) was being added for HW2.5 cars a few days ago...
AFAIK it's the only visualization added (no lights to stop signs or other stuff HW3 shows)

Got it, ok. I can see the need if you are at an "incident" location. But you'll still need to offload the file, and then you can go single frame at a time if you need.

Indeed. Yet another requested feature implemented... for free!
It was supposed to exist in 2020.8, but support got pulled in subsequent updates.

In need of a shrinking gun to zap a plaid with.
Downloading now. Also just got it.
I can’t say that I’ve ever thought “damn I wish my framerate was higher” on my backup camera. How fast you people going in reverse? (Almost 14k miles on HW3, but I do my high speed driving in drive).
