I am just curious. Why does Tesla not have a Birdseye view camera like most other manufacturers. It is so helpful in parking and staying away from curbs.

Because Elon doesn't necessarily care about that.I am just curious. Why does Tesla not have a Birdseye view camera like most other manufacturers. It is so helpful in parking and staying away from curb.

Yes, but not in real-time.Surely the 8 camera views can be massaged into a pretty good 360 view. Here is a composite of the 8 cameras:
The same reason that it hits the curbs and short mannequins.
Some genius set up a pure vision self driving camera system that cannot see 360 at a same time.
It can stitch different views at different times to create "vector-space bird's eye view" but by that time, your tire is curbed and the short mannequin is run over.
They are too busy writing the code to add additional video games to the cars rather than focusing on something practical like this.
Yeah even our 2018 Leaf has 360, but we are planning on trading it in for an S now, after needing a tow 2 nights ago (fun times). Tesla should certainly have 360 as well, sigh.
So Musk saying in 2020 that it is coming is just another carnival bark?Tesla would need to add at least 3 more cameras for 360 views. The front and side cameras do not capture close into the car. The existing cameras are optimized for FSD distance and safety features.
Similarly, cars with 360-degree view cameras cannot use them for FSD or safety features as they are pointed in the wrong direction. These cameras are focused on down near-the-car views.
Now a select few cars do both, like the $170K Lucid, but they have a lot more cameras. I guess that the $70K difference has to pay for something extra. So yes it can be done, but so far Tesla has elected to focus on FSD and safety features. It is not likely to be added with software alone.
I think so, yes. Even Silicon Valley can't magic together a 360 image without cameras in the right spots. If they could have, it would be done already.So Musk saying in 2020 that it is coming is just another carnival bark?
