How do you get rid of the cartoon depiction on the left?

[EVchiq]

On my tesla, on the left hand side, there is a cartoon depiction of what is going on on the road.

Is there a way to get rid of that?

I've driven about 15,000 miles on my model y, and I don't see what the point of the cartoon depiction is.

I've never used it for anything, is it supposed to do something?

Yabba Dabba Doo!

No (tesla calls this the driving visualization).

Your question amounts to "Can I customize my screen layout" and the answer is no.

That visualization has at least one use that you can benefit from: it will show a car in red when you try to change lanes and that car is in your blind spot.

In general, this helps you understand why Autopilot and FSD take their decisions. It's not essential, it's a feedback tool for the human. For example, you can see the car has indeed recognized a speed limit sign, and I see the displayed limit change as the sign goes by.

Hahaha cartoon depiction.

It helps when parking or backing up. Bars, that change color, display on the front and sides of the car. There are measurement indicators too to tell.you how close you are to an object. The measurement seemed to display when you are within so many inches.

Yeah …. Some essential functions there for EAP and FSD

But the strange thing is, that same car, in the same spot, doesn't show up at all on the screen UNLESS you're changing lanes into it.
So, as a "visualization", it's practically useless.

It might be useful for the AI developers to see what the car sees, but it’s a pretty big waste of space for the rest of us. I’ve never found the visualization remotely useful.
