Next week, a significant update to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology is anticipated. Elon Musk, the CEO, stated it will be amazing but provided little further information. Eliminating the steering wheel reminder that prompts drivers to touch the wheel is one significant adjustment. Rather than this, Tesla will utilize a camera within the vehicle to determine whether the driver is focused.
As of right present, Tesla’s system alerts drivers to check their focus every minute. However, because they have to do this so frequently, some individuals find it bothersome. Drivers who glance away from the road for longer than three seconds are already alerted by the new camera system. This also irritates some folks.
Opponents are concerned that the camera system may not function flawlessly, which could result in drivers abusing it. Tesla claims that drivers must always be prepared to take over control of the vehicle, though.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now investigating a Tesla recall pertaining to alerts for Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, so this adjustment comes at a risky moment for the company. When utilizing these functions, Tesla repeatedly emphasizes that users must maintain concentration and keep their hands on the wheel.
