That is excellent news, however the broader image is one thing I discover irritating and indicative of Tesla’s errors with Autopilot and “Full Self Driving” (Beta) lately. With coming upgrades, Tesla automobiles are going to get washers on entrance cameras. That is mandatory if Tesla ever hopes to have greater than ADAS (i.e., FSD). However why did it take so lengthy to determine these are wanted? CleanTechnica readers have been saying for a number of years that these are wanted. One drive with Autopilot or FSD (Beta) in wet climate will inform you an identical. It’s only a bit thoughts blowing to me that it has taken Tesla so lengthy so as to add washers — and, truly, they’re not even added but. The newest software program code simply signifies they’re coming, as seen by white-hat hacker @greentheonly. (Although, there’s one massive asterisk to contemplate.*)
2023.44.1 brings us:
– entrance digital camera is getting a washer too and here is the button to activate it
– new js participant for media: shaka participant
– media playback added 1.25x 1.5x and 2x speeds (for apple podcasts?) pic.twitter.com/9D9KC3PIoZ— inexperienced (@greentheonly) November 25, 2023
There are undoubtedly different potential {hardware} limitations with Tesla automobiles in the case of FSD, however discussions about these issues have gone in circles for a couple of decade. It’s simply good to see that Tesla is lastly addressing a transparent limitation and downside.
Let’s roll via a number of the different coming updates @greentheonly noticed within the newest Tesla code. These embody:
- 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x media playback choices (@greentheonly supposes this can be for Apple podcasts)
- “new js participant for media: shaka participant”
- “Seatbelt reminders are getting a brand new IIHS mode that makes them extra frequent and better pitched
- “New characteristic — cabin digital camera might now be used to allow/disable HOV lane use — requires extra cabin digital camera permission (and likewise Tesla ought to allow the characteristic for the automobile earlier than it’s seen)”
- MPP (most possible path) navigation mode
- New 16V and 48V low-voltage batteries.
*Concerning that one massive asterisk. The code appears to point this washer is for the digital camera within the entrance fascia, which individuals level out isn’t in all probability that helpful for FSD. It could simply be key for parking and off-roading, in line with some feedback. We’ll see when these options come to client vehicles. My hope is that a number of core cameras will get these washers.
I agree with the next response from Larckening:
All cameras must be washable
