Back to human sensors then, when you hear a bang you are too close.What a stupid decision. Good luck using Tesla Vision parking sensors in the winter when the rear camera is covered in muck.

I can pretty much guarantee that this will be my last Tesla
Given your purchase history and that from your posts you're not a natural moaner like me, I think this is pretty significantI can pretty much guarantee that this will be my last Tesla
Teslas new haptic feedback system will be revolutionaryBack to human sensors then, when you hear a bang you are too close.
It determines whether a specific point in space is occupied or not. It then builds what they are calling a volumetric map. So really a 3d presentation of what's around the car.That would entirely depend on what it registers, I’d say. Does it spot and track posts? Or low walls, etc? i.e. stuff that the ultrasonics would handle.
It seems to maintain the map for quite some distance. The video shows a car driving around streets and there are several cars length of data showing behind the car. IIRC Persistence of vision is already being used in FSD. The article I linked to also mentions a 4D occupancy grid, so it is capable of tracking moving objects that may enter the space around the car.How long is the persistence of vision? If you stop and then move forward after a short period, does it remember the stuff that was in front?
Even with ultrasonic sensors you are advised not to rely on them to determine a space is free of objects. Lots of caveats in the manual about using them.And ultimately we’re talking about a safety critical system here. It’s not like auto headlights or auto wipers where poor performance is just annoying, a failure of this system could lead to collisions and very expensive repairs, or worse.
Genius move if Tesla buy up bodyshops…
Seriously though this working (at all) all seems to hinge on object persistence and their ability to create a volumetric map at insane detail, pretty quickly. I’m guessing (and I’m not the only one) they’re relying on blind spots being covered by “historical” data or the relationship between objects. I.e you can’t close with an object to a degree where you might hit it, without approaching it from an angle/distance that will be caught by the cameras. Someone puts a trolley in a camera blind spot that you haven’t noticed though? Heck knows.
Whatever your stance on this - man, Tesla ownership really is something different. This change could be an enormous accomplishment, or it could flop horrendously and lead to huge class action. All whilst drawing the ire of basically every vehicle standards body.
Tesla has no chill!
The existing cameras aren't capable of a 360 vision as you see on other cars. There are blind spots in the vision due to the configuration and orientation of them.It determines whether a specific point in space is occupied or not.

Ultimately we don't know how it will perform because no-one has a car running it, so why worry about it now?
