Shocked they didn’t add a front bumper camera. We don’t need the system to tell us there’s an object 10 meters in front of us. We’d be able to see it with our own eyes. We need a bumper camera to show us our front blind spot.

But a front bumper camera is such an odd idea. So non-intuitive. How could Tesla engineers figure that out? omg
@colinmerrilees3 ай бұрын
The camera placements are derived from the original Model S Autopilot feature which was designed for highway driving, that needed to watch the road ahead and side to side for lane changing. When they designed and released the Model 3/Y they had an opportunity to add a front bumper camera for cross path traffic and close range parking, but seemed to think they could solve those challenges with the original camera placements. A missed opportunity, as now all the billions of miles of training data and neural net algorithms for training the Tesla vision system are designed around the placement and calibration of the current setup. Changing the camera positions now, is a massive undertaking to overhaul and recalibrate the training data set.

I totally agree with you. They should have kept USS while trying to improve vision parking. I am sure most of the drivers would be happy to pay extra couple of hundred dollars. I hope Elon Musk watches your video. The company really needs to look at the customers feedback, otherwise BYD will take over.
@chrisvanderstock4 ай бұрын
Thanks. I've been wanting to do this video for a while now but waited as comparing one with the other will always be fraught with comments like "your car with USS, can't be compared to those equipped only with Tesla vision". At least now we can try it and see... which IMHO is great but also shows how bad Tesla Vision is. It's a simple fix, put a bumper camera in, ultra sonics, and that's it - fixed!

You don't need a front camera. The problem why it wasn't seen is because the driver changed the setting from USS to Vision. If he drove in directly with Tesla Vision he would of course see it because the data is evaluated like when a person drives and sees something in front. Removing USS was the right decision; in FSD all cars drive without USS when deciding how to drive. The point of Tesla Vision is that a person who is driving only sees what he sees; he doesn't need ultrasonic sensors to estimate distances. In the long term, Tesla Vision will be better than the mature technology of USS.

I switched back to USS, I tried vision for more than a week. It doesn't work on dark/night time well. It panics too early or doesn't seem some obstacles. It is no better or worse than my vision. While the USS gives me additional ability to judge the distance which is useful on those real tight spaces. I think the BMW camera with USS graphics and warnings is the best. Sadly this looks to be the auto wiper situation. Where they take a sensor out that really already works, trying an alternative way but never actually get as good.

I really like Tesla vision for parking in a well lined parking lot. Previously, I didn’t have a good feel for where the corners of the car were. I really don’t like that 3-D blobby stuff that it does, especially in my one car garage. I use tennis ball and string technology. I don’t think it’s going to get much better, but hope I’m wrong.

A 360° degree birdeye camera perspective is really the state of the art at the region where Tesla is selling cars. Have had a couple of cars and all above 40k give you the option for a front bumper camera and/or 360° live view. Even the Citroen Berlingo's at our company do generate at least a 180° degree view with full birdeye view with only one camera the more you drive backwards (picture is put together when you reverse). That 3D rendering is ridiculous and they only use it to avoid paying for the patent license cost like all other car manufacturers. That's the only reason for that 3D rendering instead of showing real world imagery.

I have a ‘22 Model Y with USS, and have been trying Vision for the past month. Mostly a good experience, in the garage, it is tight, but still similar to the USS. Vision keeps me an extra 4-6 inches behind where I stop with USS, but it’s comparable. I prefer Vision on public parking spots, though because I can see the left-right painted line locations better as I pull in. I don’t parallel park much, and I curbed my wheels before I had Vision available. I don’t think that would have happened if I had Vision from the start.
@BadL_3 ай бұрын
It could definitely be able to show everything in front of it without a bumper camera. If it is just given the ability to remember what it has seen then it will always be able to know what’s in front of it. Nothing can get in front of the car without it getting seen by the cameras first. It is a solvable problem with the hardware it has, and they definitely are not bringing ultrasonics back. The $114 estimate is just the cost of the sensors, it doesnt take into account the added parts needed, the time it takes to manufacture, or the cost of tools/labour needed to install them.

Hi Chris, great content as always, I wonder if hw4 makes a difference in the front camera. I’m 10k into my m3 highland experience and havn’t had any dings as a result of vision, but I quickly worked out its limitations. Basically they are assuming your eyes fill in the gaps that the front camera can’t cope with. As I say, not an issue for me atm, but I wonder/worry about how it would work with FSD when in theory eyes arnt required. Maybe it’ll get better in time 🤞. Cheers
