People reported it was fixed just recently. Probably Tesla just doing some upgrades/maintenance in the backend.FSD upgrade is still available in my account for my AP2 car with EAP.

As I said earlier - below is a new version of image conversion tool with a function for converting images from the backup camera. It's accessible with "-back" switch (with no additional options, this is a straightforward conversion to RGB BMP).
I was also experimenting a bit with this tool since. Some functions are rewritten for SSE for faster computation (useful when converting replay videos). I also wanted to add the ability to export a full precision image to some advanced external image editor, for better HDR processing and enhancements, so I added an option to save to TIFF files ("-tiff" switch). This saves a 32bit floating point TIFF with full linear range (without histogram stretching and gamma correction). As far as I understand, it should be possible to load this file with Photoshop or similar application without any precision loss, but I didn't properly tested that.
There are several sources.@verygreen do you have and idea / notion what triggers snapshots / videos taken? Is it completely random, is it driving based events, time based maybe?
BTW how do you make the converter work on the unpacked hevc images? so say I unpack it into a raw gray16 file, but obviously that does not have registers correct post compression/decompression cycle so the converted produced me some super overexposed result instead (even with tiff output)
ffmpeg -i video.h265 -f rawvideo video.bin
ImageConverter -range 0.01 1.5 -rf 1.9 -vid video.bin
Continuing on from this post, I processed the snapshot #12 as you suggested.So, I had FCW triggered on my recent trip, and as it turns out this is an event that triggers a snapshot. Only records can data and main camera replay. I uploaded a sample to https://app.box.com/s/bv03mxivwrtr8iau4x7odwc0j3g8s5ml
I wonder what other triggers beyond FCW and crash exist.
Also I finally drove around a bit at night (also partially raining, 2+ hours after sunset) taking snapshots every 3 minutes (in hindsight should have made it more often since a bunch of totally unlit roads were not apparently captured, but snapshot #12 is me stopped at unlit street deliberately - only headlights on).
Anyway, uploading the 14 resultant snapshots to https://app.box.com/s/jah6ovf6y5eoq9faejeylt7fm2j2od4i
It has a mixed set of highway and a country road stuff.
I'll also add a couple of DVR records for comparison and here are a few snapshots that I took so we can look at them here, but the forum is not cooperating, so I am also uploading them to the above mentioned location.
In particular IMG20170604-234144F.JPG is the unlit street for comparison.
Judging by the appearance of the so called HVAC-sensor in AP2.0 cars, I'm beginning to doubt my own theory now that it is actually a rain sensor
PS: Not asking for any particular opinions on this issue (again), just posting some data for future reference
@chillaban perhaps you can give the mothership you code from when you were 10, we'd all be very grateful and I'm sure a couple of free beers will make it your way
Plus, my day job is already overwhelming at times because management figures in a meeting decide to trivialize the effort of writing software. "Oh yes, that's possible, it's just software"
Haha, what I keep saying is that it's Silicon Valley + Cars. It's kind of amusing too and I appreciate the rest of the world (that's rooted in reality and not delusion like us here) reminding us that we are the crazy ones....Oh, so clearly you already work for Tesla
Repeaters face backwards, B pillar cameras face forwards... they are further out than the drivers head can possibly be unless you stick your head out of the window. I'm not seeing any problem.I've been thinking about AP2 camera angles and came to a conclusion, that placement that is in use today
will not allow level 5 autonomy (no human intervention needed in all situations).
Tesla is following a truck. One lane city road. Traffic is slow, weather fine. Semi stops and doesn't move any more.
Let's suppose truck stopped. Switched hazards on. AP now has to overtake that semi (or just a bulky van).
This is the view (in city distance might be even less). What can FSD program do?
There is a reason why driver's eyes are extremely close to opposite traffic lane and not center of the vehicle.
Left repeater cam can not see ahead. Windscreen cameras can not see ahead.
But driver would be able to see MUCH further, especially when leaned towards driver side window. This is what we do.
I'm absolutely confident in my findings. I have simulated situation in real traffic. I see no solution.
And backing up in not an option. Also keeping huge following distance doesn't work in this scenario.
There must be a camera on the left side looking forward. Either repeater, headlight enclosure, or upper left windshield corner.
And just this one situation not being handled by FSD pack means Level 4 system.
Just a camera.
Problem 2:
ALL cameras must be with wash+airblasting function. I do not understand WTF was Elon thinking when he said "level 5".
Majority of cameras I've seen in rain, slush, dirty-snow are covered with crap with absolutely no visibility.
This includes all-around cameras on many vehicles, incl Leaf. ABSOLUTELY NO VISIBILITY.
Yes, 3 central cameras can be cleaned. But others? If not, this is Level 4
PS: cameras with wash+blow functions are available, this video shows just wash version:
Sorry if that was already in this topic.
No, it's because the video is fake. FAKE. FAKE-FAKE-FAKE. The whole town is window dressing. Done in Hollywood just like the moon landing and WW2(and this wasn't just because it had lidar)
