How to access door pillar camera feed?

[Iron]

This is for the cameras above where you'd scan a key card. There is a location where there is huge blind spot and due to the angle of the car and the way this car is designed, only the pillar camera would be able to view oncoming traffic. If not accessible, is this in the works? Unfortunately the location is right outside my subdivision, so unavoidable and dangerous.

The feed is not user accessible

What's it there for, just self driving? It would work great for sentry.

Pretty much

Yes for FSD. It would be great for Sentry but I'm guessing it's excluded due to privacy concerns. It has really good close up views of anyone near the side of driver or passenger door.

I just saw a video of a t-bone accident in which a pickup truck ran a stop sign and hit a Tesla. The owner was able to get the pillar footage directly from Tesla to use against the offending driver. Not sure if it's allowed outside of CA.

Was that the one where the owner had Tesla insurance? If so, I'd think that wouldn't be a problem.

It'll be very useful to access this feed to avoid scraping the sides of the front bumper in tight spaces.

Doubt if it would help that. This camera looks out to the side.

I am going by the info available here

Oops - hit the send button too quickly. Seek to 5:13 in that video.

I see what you're saying, they do look angled towards the front but hard to tell if they could pick up the front bumper. Too bad I couldn't find a single video with a view of the feed.

@PTVMan is there a link to that t-bone accident you're referring to? We're wondering if it is a feed from the B-pillar camera. If yes, we could get a sense for how wide an angle it is able to cover, especially closer to the fender side.

Thanks for posting. The image showed in the video link is from the pillar cam. Looks like it doesn't show up by the front bumper.

 

[mylapore]

Yes, sadly it doesn't

Thanks for info. I'm most excited about the High Fidelity Parking assist/3D imagery parking.
