Some interesting stuff recently on future features coming (or not)

Someone asked about the app alerting you every time Sentry alerts and sending the video feeds to the phone- Elon suggested maybe a still pic could be send, but live video would simply eat too much bandwidth.... sadly nothing came up about the more obvious "view footage in the car" option

He also mentioned they could enable viewing one of the front/back facing side cameras for tight parking navigation...also adding an option to disable auto-lock when at "home" location.

Another funny bit- Disney+ in your Tesla? COMING SOON! But a Nav system that finally catches up to Garmin circa 2004 and handles multiple waypoints? NOPE. If it's not the next destination in your calendar you don't need to go there!

But hey, he also said ok to adding NAP mode... (everything but HVAC turns off, and you can set an alarm.)

Last interesting bit comes from Green (the AP hacker) though Elon kinda nodded at it-

Tesla starts activating HW3's Autopilot Dual Redundancy in latest update

Node 2 (the 2nd redundant HW3 computer in the HW3 unit) is now actually running a full copy of the FSD software alongside node 1....previously it was just sitting there.

Wouldn't be any reason to do that (and waste power) if they weren't at least CLOSE to needing to test FSD features where the computer rebooting while engaged is not really a safe option- and thus having the ability to failover without disengagement is needed.
