One issue I have with my ‘17 S75 is the way that safety systems and controls are dependent on the MCU. When my MCU crashes, I don’t get cameras, directionals, shift indicator, lane departure warnings, collision warnings, speed indicator etc…. Which are all items that matter for safe driving.
I’m looking at a ‘22 model S, and it appears that even more items are dependent on the MCU. The main item that concerns me is use of the touch screen for the P-D-R-N shifter. Imagine your MCU crashes and you not only can’t tell what gear you’re in, but also can’t shift into park if needed. I guess you hold your foot on the brake until you can reboot the MCU?
(This concern is on top of the asinine repeated touch screen reaches requires to parallel park.)
Any insights on how Tesla manages the safety related controls on the new model s would be appreciated. Thanks.
