It's filmed by the complimentary drone quadrocopter that comes with the car ;-)
I would describe it as a "virtual reality" view synthesized by software from the cars cameras. It's not "real". But it could be useful.
All top down view systems have a POV outside the car since they generally look down from about 10 feet above the vehicle roof.
It's all done with clever image processing taking the various camera views and remapping them onto a different set of surfaces. As soon as you get near to any other solid objects the effect tends to break down, but that doesn't stop it being very useful and intuitive.
I think this feature is amazing, especially the side POV and how well it seems to stitch and map the images. I know Tesla's resources are limited, but it's with these types of "wow" technologies that Tesla could really differentiate itself. It was a wow for me, anyway!
Agreed. Though they need to one-up BMW now!
I think Tesla differentiates itself by having a battery rather than an internal combustion engine. That's all the differentiation I'm interested in.I think this feature is amazing, especially the side POV and how well it seems to stitch and map the images.

I hope Tesla's system is better than BMW's. Theirs looks cute in a cartoony way but doesn't seem real useful in real life.
Well, nowadays, when we see augmented and virtual reality in every sphere of our life, I think it can be real already
Many technology companies are working on AR/VR solutions for automotive industry I'm sureSimilar threads
