What's Tesla Cooking?

[PhilDavid]

It has been too long since I last received an update so I'm wondering what they are cooking...

Last I heard, they are working on a big rewrite of some of the Autopilot code-base -- perhaps to take advantage of HW 3.0? Would be awesome if the next big release brings stop sign and traffic sign recognition.

Anyone have any insight about what we can expect in the next update?

Maybe they are adding cellphone mirroring or Waze?

Or maybe they decided to devote all available resources to fix the USB music resuming issue due to the USB drive not being initialized properly when you open the door?

devote all available resources to fix the USB music

The only reason I bought the car was on the assumption it had a decent, full featured USB music player.

I wonder if they are holding off releasing autopilot features (stop at red-lights/signs?) until _enough_ of the fleet has been upgraded to HW3? It's likely that we will start to see a meaningful difference in functionality between HW 2.5 & 3 soon. But the rumored rewrite of the code could also be holding them up.

I don't even have a Tesla yet (tomorrow is the big date for a used S) and I've noticed the slow-down just reading these boards.

I'm hoping they add more features to sentry mode, like the ability to view footage on the center screen, and hopefully share it from there too.
I bet once the model Y starts getting delivered, we'll see some cool new stuff on the Y that will hopefully be passed down to the older cars soon. But if you thought the model S was forgotten in a closet before, wait till the Y comes out.

Nope

Nope

Very unlikely but you maybe small improvements to this.

None of the above. All hands on deck for Model Y production ramp.

So Andrej Karpathy is helping put together someone's Model Y now?

It's a good ponit about the Model Y though. Can anyone think of software specific features just for the Model Y? Isn;t it basically a Model 3 with a lift-gate?

 

[Cheburashka]

Range increase happened just 2 weeks ago, so imagine we'll see a software update for that once the LR+ start getting delivered in a week.

I bet we will see the ability to view Sentry videos soon. It's perhaps the number 2 most requested feature.

Right next to fixing the USB music player, of course

It is not technically possible for Tesla to fix the USB music player with current technology.

The proof is obvious, name a single BEV made in California by a company started by a person who also started a rocket company which has a well featured USB player.

QED

i just hope they do it right. Not just the view of files, but ensure you can see all cameras at one time along with like a 10X speed up to skip the nonsense.

Seems like a good application for a neural network -- "skip ahead until something happens"

And some reasonable way to share the file with law enforcement or someone else without having to pull the USB drive.

Hi All,

I just got a USB file system called a Roadie.
They have 64Gb and 128Gb.
It uses a more robust file system than FAT32...
It comes with an App that will work iPhone or Android.
You are able to view the files through the App while the device is still in the car...

I like it.

Another piece of software that makes the system complete is the TeslaCam viewer.
It is from a non-related developer.
It goes on your computer.
You are able to see all 4 camera views at the same time.
You are able to vary the speed of viewing up to 10 times the actual speed.
While the Roadie is under power in your vehicle, it may be mapped as a drive
on your computer.
This allows viewing of the TeslaCam films with the Roadie still installed in your car.

These 2 products combine to form a very robust system for your TeslaCam.

I am a happy customer of these 2 products and I am not related in any way to either
of the two entities other than as a happy customer.

Try it, You will like it!!!

Whatever that happened is usually in the middle of the second to the last clip.

is this working on your MS? wouldn’t work on my 2017 MS

 

[ShawnA]

Hi Gt1948,

It's working fine on my X from 2018 MCU2...
What are your symptoms or messages???
Did a "normal" USB thumb drive work?

Shawn

Edit: Things I had to watch out for were power turning off to USB.
I used Sentry Mode to keep power on to Map the drive.

Obviously they're working on a rewrite of the autopilot software that includes an AI powered USB music player

Based on its performance, it could already have an AI based player! Works just like the wipers and self parking.

Define AI:

Has a mind of its own.

Apparently we are about to get a rewrite of the core Autopilot software!
