Honda blindspot camera

[Spidey423]

I took my car in to the dealer for some service and they gave me a 21 HRX to drive. It has on the passenger side mirror, a camera that when you change lanes (with the turn signal) the picture shows up on the center screen. Very nice feature in a $25k vehicle. Wouldn't it be cool if Tesla did the same thing with their side cameras. I can't think that it would be too difficult to program.

Seems like if you need this, your mirrors are maladjusted. They should be further out, and you can see all you need.

You don't need to see down the side of your car. You need to see what's in the next lane.

Elon has tweeted that the feature will arrive. Hopefully that means this year, but we really don't know.

Agree, that would be pretty cool. The funny thing is that the only reason I regularly look at the visualization of the car on the MCU is to check my blindspot. Why would Tesla make the visualization available and prominent on the screen if they didn't want you to look at it while driving, even without AP/EAP/FSD engaged? (And yes, I check my mirrors and turn my head before making turns.)

Yeah, I always wonder why Tesla doesn't do this (at least let it be a setting that users can configure). The most similar possible right now is keeping the camera screen up, but it'll be much easier if Tesla just shows the side camera when you activate the turn signal. Should be very easy to implement in software.

Hyundai's works on both sides of the car, and puts the pic in your dash. VERY cool.

Totally disagree. I have my mirrors properly adjusted and yet, you can never have too much blind spot info IMO.

This feature and birds eye view when parking! Both features that are available on much less expensive cars can’t come soon enough. I was hoping the holiday update contained these but instead we got more games and fancy noises (if your newer Tesla is so equipped with external noise-making devices).

Watch your side repeater camera feed at night when the turn signal is activated...

My 2016 Honda has this. It's awesome - much better than a mirror.

The sensor is recessed, it never gets road film (unlike my back-up camera).

The sensor can also be manually activated and left On, a great feature for city expressway driving.

You are right, because of US mirrors.
With EU mirrors there are NO blind-spots at all on model S / X (don't know about 3 / Y, never tested them)
