Thats what park assist looks like on my model 3. Information about park assist in the model Y manual:
===============================
Model Y is designed to detect the presence of objects. When driving slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when parking), the vehicle alerts you if an object is detected in close proximity of your Model Y. Objects are only detected in your chosen direction; front objects in Drive, rear objects in Reverse.
Warning
You may not be alerted if Model Y rolls freely in the opposite direction (for example, Park Assist does not display an alert if Model Y rolls backwards down a hill while in Drive).
Park Assist is activated when driving slower than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Note
Park Assist may be disabled when a bicycle is detected or Model Y is in trailer mode.
Warning
Never depend on Park Assist to inform you if an area you are approaching is free of objects and/or people. Several external factors can reduce the performance of Park Assist, causing either no readings or false readings (see Limitations and False Warnings). Therefore, depending on Park Assist to determine if Model Y is approaching an obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can potentially cause serious injury. Always inspect the area with your own eyes. When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above or below the sensors (if equipped) or cameras, or too close or too far from the sensors or cameras. Park Assist is for guidance purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct visual checks. It is not a substitute for careful driving.
When driving with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the Park Assist view when driving at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h). Touch the button located in the upper left corner of the Camera app screen. This is useful if you need assistance with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling Audible Feedback), an audible beep sounds as you approach an object.
Note
If Park Assist is unable to provide feedback, the touchscreen displays an alert message.
CAUTION
Keep sensors (if equipped) and cameras clean from dirt, debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high pressure power washer on the sensors and cameras, and do not clean a sensor or camera with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or damage its surface.
CAUTION
Do not install accessories or stickers on or near the sensors (if equipped) or cameras.

How Park Assist Works
This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles manufactured as of approximately October 2022.Model Y is designed to detect the presence of objects. When driving slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when parking), the vehicle alerts you if an object is detected in close proximity of your Model Y. Objects are only detected in your chosen direction; front objects in Drive, rear objects in Reverse.
Warning

Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist view displays on the touchscreen, showing objects that are in close proximity to the front and rear of Model Y. This view closes when you shift into Drive unless an object is detected close to the front of Model Y, in which case the Park Assist view closes automatically when your driving speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h). When reversing, visual feedback also displays on the touchscreen (see Rear Facing Camera(s)). You can manually close the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X.When driving with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the Park Assist view when driving at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h). Touch the button located in the upper left corner of the Camera app screen. This is useful if you need assistance with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling Audible Feedback), an audible beep sounds as you approach an object.

CAUTION
Do not install accessories or stickers on or near the sensors (if equipped) or cameras.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off, touch Controls > Safety > Park Assist Chimes.Limitations and False Warnings
Park Assist may not function correctly in these situations:- One or more of the sensors (if equipped) or cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).
- The object is located below approximately 8 inches (20 cm) (such as a curb or low barrier).
CAUTION
Shorter objects that are detected (such as curbs or low barriers) can move into a blind spot. Model Y cannot alert you about an object while it is in a blind spot. - Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or fog).
- The object is thin (such as a sign post).
- Park Assist’s operating range has been exceeded.
- The object is sound-absorbing or soft (such as powder snow).
- The object is sloped (such as a sloped embankment).
- Model Y has been parked in, or being driven in, extremely hot or cold temperatures.
- The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
- You are driving in a location where the sensors' (if equipped) waves are deflected away from the vehicle (such as driving next to a wall or pillar).
- The object is located too close to the bumper.
- A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
- An object that is mounted to Model Y is interfering with and/or obstructing Park Assist (such as a bike rack or bumper sticker).
- Model Y rolls freely in the opposite direction you selected (for example, Park Assist does not display an alert if Model Y rolls backwards down a hill while in Drive).
Other Parking Aids
In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into Reverse, the backup camera displays a view of the area behind Model Y (see Rear Facing Camera(s)).Yes it's new park assist. I need to figure out how to turn it off. It is giving me false warnings Perhaps it's because I'm parked on grass pasture and it thinks the grass is an obstacle.
Tesla Introduces Vision Park Assist: Availability, Accuracy and Videos
According to the link above it should be able to be turned off.
After working tech for almost 40 years I hate installing new software releases. On my other Model Y I haven't activated wifi yet so it didn't update last night. It's still on 2023.2.200
It definitely needs some updates. It is not accurate. I have tested it and in some instances is says stop and I have 2 feet before coming in contact with anything. Other times is days 36 inches and I am either touching the front end of the car or 1-2 inches away. The upadte needs to revise the colored waves and implement an actual camera like when in reverse. Also needs a Birds Eye view like most cars on the market today. Tesla is far behind in this area. So sad!
I drove out off the property onto the road and the warnings were gone. When I came back to the cabin property, which is on 3 acres of grass and no pavement, the alerts went crazy again. It looked like it identified shadows from trees in the grass as hard obstacles in RED with STOP displayed and with audio warnings. Normal grass was also displayed as obstacles but in yellow.
Lol. This is all nothing new. For three years, whenever I pull into my garage, the warnings freak out...screaming at me to stop because of a tiny floor mat to the left. The ladder hanging on the wall to my right indicates as a semi truck in the display, and warnings start shrieking again. Of course, the moment I'm in my garage, the GPS swears I'm three houses over.
The amazing thing to me is why anyone is still surprised at the bone-headed, penny pinching, idiotic decisions Musk forces on his engineers on a regular basis. This is classic Musk behavior. If supply chain issues imperil beating delivery targets, then simply put out an inferior product to meet those goals.
It's the entire reason my next two EV purchases were NOT Tesla. As long as consumers continue to reward this sort of behavior with their wallets, it will never stop. Get used to it.

I've noticed the same thing. Does anyone know if re calibrating the cameras will help or not?
I drove our Ford F450 yesterday to the supermarket parking lot. What a pleasure it was to see the clear detailed 360 camera as I was pulling out of the parking spot. Then the cross track alert set off as a car that was out of sight was driving by the back being “seen” by the detectors in the twilights.
I realized how primitive the Tesla is compared to the lowly Ford.

Since this is now about USS / Parking sensors (and the question has been answered of "what is this" I am going to direct further discussion to the stickied thread on discussing USS / Tesla vision / and the new firmware around this, which is here:
teslamotorsclub.com
2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware
Which raises a good question: does Tesla actually read this site? Has it ever responded? Tesla doesn't respond to media, why should it listen to its customers?
