2023 Holiday Update

[Whyone]

....
I think we can agree that it’s better than the ribbons though. in terms of overall it’s a case of garbage-in, garbage-out - it’s never going to be as good as ultrasonics, but there are aspects of it that appear to be better (e.g. drawing kerbs, etc).....
.

Would you prefer no information or inconsistent information?

Would you prefer no information or inconsistent information?

When it was just ribbons and random distance measurements, I’d have chosen no information. As it is, this is an upgrade over that, so if I were forced into a situation where I couldn’t have USS anyway (e.g. anyone who has bought a car from late 2022 onwards) then I’d choose to have this update, and only ues it to give a sense of surroundings rather than actually relying on it.

To be clear - I wouldn’t trade USS for this in any form.

For me:

Falsely reporting an obstacle is annoying but better than

No information, which is still better than

Falsely reporting no obstacle

Top-Down in parking bays is useful and reliable for aligning straight to the painted lines That is the one thing I've learned to trust as long as I still use mirrors for distance accuracy to surrounding cars etc.

Looking at those pictures, I have to ask.. Why not just give us a normal 360 birds eye view like some others do instead of all this smudging

I wouldn’t be averse to getting this High Fidelity Park Assist so long as it didn’t disable ultrasonics.

The fact it’s doing a reasonable job of 3D mapping the region is impressive, I think. Presumably it would be even better on HW4 cameras, etc.

I’m desperate to get it...unfortunately I have ultrasonic so I never got it for Christmas ...but it’s also possible that the old Atom chip doesn’t have the power to render the image....so I may never get it
And to be clear...what I really want is for the painted parking lines to show....brick walls and parked cars I can see from out the windows

I’m undecided on this. We have a new Toyota with 360 birdseye and can’t make out much on what’s going on when it’s dark and raining. Great when it’s dry and bright, but this shows clearer by just giving the detail needed.

Can’t get my head around someone wanting something that’s so clearly inferior

Minor glitch I encountered after updating to 2023.44.30.5.1: Drove last night and noticed the AHBs weren’t coming on. The AHB icon wasn’t showing up on the screen, either. Went into the light settings and the AHB toggle was showing on. Had to turn it off and back on again and then AHBs came on. Not had to do that, before.

Yes but this is pretending to be Lidar when it isn't... the cameras will suffer just the same as your eyes in certain weather conditions

At least our eyes are supplied with a pretty efficient cleaning mechanism.

I'm liking the new undocumented wiper update...

Yep...and please dont let the children read this.... magic and father Christmas dont exist

Supposedly its only removed from users that have never used it or not used it for a long time.

Doesn't make it right mind. Just another thing that "may" have been a factor, allbeit a small one, in the purchase of the vehicle that has been taken away after the fact. Pretty poor show.

Because muskovite is **** and hates disney

To be fair there were no more or less nags but I think there were a few random hold steering wheel nags even thought I was.

Why you say there were no more or less nags, and then in next sentence you mention that there were nags :/

There wasn’t a difference in nag quantity with or without the camera covered.

However, with the camera covered I seemed to get a few random nags to hold the wheel even though I was.

I didn’t know this. Thanks for the info

Lidar is absolutely effected by rain, snow or fog. While some advanced Lidars can go someway towards mitigating this e.g. with algorithms that reject anomalous readings there's still a significant degradation. Maybe you meant radar ?

We've had this for ages, since the update that brought more options to the left wheel. That video is 7 months old.

 

[kelvin 660]

@GRiLLA, It may well be 7 months old but some how I missed it first time around, but that's not surprising given the way Tesla document, or not, their OTA updates!
