Blind Spot Monitoring Standard on all AP 2.0+ cars

[JeffK]

have the wheel resist you a little and you have to push past the hump like a softer AP disengagement

...but would this actually make the situation worse if the driver doesn't put two and two together? A more abrupt steering input will give the second driver even less time to respond. I like the idea of an auditory warning better.

LDW currently uses heptic feedback, and I believe it's the only system that does.

What I'd like to see is Heptic feedback being set-able to where you can choose what gets assigned to it.

Like you can assign it to LDW, or you can assign it to blindspot monitoring, or you can have it disabled.

If it's assigned to blind-spot monitoring then you get the vibration in the steering wheel if you attempt to merge into someone. That way it works whether or not they have the turn signal on. Maybe it also has a bit more resistance just to indicate that you should check.

An audible alert should also be optional for it. I'm not a huge fan of audible alerts as I often find myself trying to decipher where it came from.

No they haven’t. I have seen two drivers almost get in accidents recently with the blind spot monitoring (non Tesla). People rely on that too much and it isn’t perfect. People need to adjust their damn mirrors properly.

Anecdotal evidence: the BSM on my Volt is awesome 99 percent of the time. But it would sometimes be lit up when there is no car in my blind spot, and sometimes won’t light up when there is. Very rare, but it has happened to me a few times over two and a half years. Good thing I have my mirrors set up well and always glance over my shoulder anyway.

Good for you! That’s what people should do!

Not True. long time? Nope.

Cross country FSD was supposed to be earlier this year.

No, it was supposed to be last year. Then when that never happened it was supposed to be this year. That's also not happening.

Last time Elon was asked, a few weeks ago, he said " V10 alpha build"

So given it was 2 years between v8 and v9, long time true.

Posted this in the other V9 thread but for those of you that hadn’t seen it - the screenshot of my M3 blind spot monitoring.

Still not technically correct.

It was always standard, but before it just didn't work too well.

Better now?

 

[S4WRXTTCS]

Better now?

It's now technically correct.

But, for me personally I would have gone with "360-degree visualization is standard on all AP2.0+ cars"

As it's really significantly more than blindspot monitoring.

Does this also require EAP on the car or is it considered a safety feature that's available on all cars with AP2.0+ hardware alone?

It's considered a safety feature that's available on all cars with the AP2.0+ hardware.

So basically every Tesla S/X/3 made after Oct 2016.

Looking at the screen before changing lanes isn't helpful for BSM. The in-mirror/A-pillar light of other OEMs (including my STI) is a nice and natural way to double check (of course, always actually check your blind spots).

Also, the red line should appear at all times, not just when you engage your blinker. The car should chime if you are going to move over (blinker on, or you move the car), in order to warn you of an object.

Can someone just tell me whether the BSM in V9 works well? Can it be trusted? I have a Model S75 with AP2 hardware and have yet to upgrade to V9.
