Not sure if this has been discussed before (I'm sure it has)
But let's just watch the first few seconds of this Figure AI robot demo for a sec and then think about what Tesla may add to the car by leveraging a "a realtime Tesla camera swarm" in a similar way.
But instead of you asking the car.. the car polls itself constantly for info and shares it.
For instance someone pulls into an AMC theater parking lot
The computer notices the lot is full and shares that info
You then later ask the computer
"Navigate to the AMC theater"
it responds
"It was reported 10 minutes ago that the parking lot was full"
"Navigate to the restaurant on main street"
it responds
"It was reported 5 minutes ago that there may be a parade today going down the road"
"Navigate to the town high school"
it responds
"5 minutes ago many people were leaving the building"
"Navigate to Six flags"
it responds
"it's currently raining there..and the traffic is a mess"
"Navigate to my work"
it responds
"Will have to take an alternate route because the snowplows have not cleared the road yet"
"Navigate to the airport"
it responds
"There lots of construction cones in the road...merging 3 lanes into 1...you may be late"
"Navigate to Dad's house"
it responds
"The streets lights are out of order and blinking at the intersection of A & B"
Imagine a tv commercial:
The owner parks on a dark street and falls asleep...with the doors unlocked
The car sees a dog walk by..and does nothing.
The car sees a person walking up...and locks the doors.
The person grabs the door handle, finds it locked, and runs away.
The owner wakes up and ask what happened
It replies "You fell asleep and the doors were unlocked...and some stranger approached..so I locked them..they grabbed the locked handle but then ran away"
I think Tesla should leverage their cameras to create an ecosystem people become so used to that they won't switch to another car brand..like Apple.
Plus like Apple they control both the hardware and software. So they can be the gatekeeper. They can add/remove/modify software at will.
