Ok, but you're still at half the pixels. Of course pixels are one thing, and sensors are another.
Right. The quality on the video seemed perfectly fine with the sensors Tesla is using.
Because sometimes they hit you from behind and speed away. The greater detail the greater chance you have of reading the plate. Either way, more is better.
I mean- not really?
If they speed away in front of you they're way nearer than 75 feet when they do it. Why would you need footage of them much further away when you already have it much closer to you as they go by?
In fact the further away they get the faster they'd be going- so your best video will be when they're JUST passing you.
Which this camera handles fine.
And if they turn on the other 7 cameras it'll beat the hell outta anything aftermarket since you'll have footage of the entire thing at every angle.
In which specific instance?
In the instance of the actual tesla dashcam footage.
16x9 720p would have less pixels than the 4:3 video shown from that camera.
16x9 720p is 1280x720... the camera is actually capturing extra info above and below that to record a 1280x960 (4:3) image.
It's recording more data with that aspect ratio, not less.
Though again field of view concerns will vanish entire with more cameras enabled.
I do wonder if more advanced features will be tied into the V3 computer upgrade coming soonish or not... V2 supposedly can "process" 200 frames a second, but does that mean actually understand everything in em (in which case simply recording 8 cameras is fine) or is that all it can handle even just capturing?
The fact it seems to be capturing at 30fps instead of the 60 the camera is capable of seems to suggest the latter.
The new chip can handle over 2000 frames a second, so 8 cameras at 60fps would be a breeze for it.
