| > with matrix-led's the high-low has been solved very well. It used to be bad and now it's almost perfect. Yes, it works much better on my new Model Y (2024) than my old Model S (2014). But they didn't really solve the original problem, i.e. detecting oncoming traffic vs. street (or other lights) up ahead. The matrix led's darken these areas in any case, and neither street lights or oncoming cars complain of course. But it does not fill me with much confidence. > Wipers, dunno, they used to be really bad but I have not noticed the issue in the past few months, maybe they have done something. Then that software update has not come to Norway at least, here they still start wiping in dry conditions, and fail to detect actual rain; so they need to be manually started all the time. > there are phantom breakings in the exact same spots this and other teslas have driven thousands of times. Isn't this the problem with AI though? We've taken something we don't fully understand (neural networks) and applied them. We can give them a lot of training data to the point where they seem to be able to do stuff on their own. But when they fail, we really cannot do anything besides adding new nodes to our network and add more training data, and hope for the best. We cannot really say what went wrong, and fix it. |
That's for safety if a flake of dirt or dust lands on the front window right over where one of the cameras are, it will do a wipe and try to get rid of the thing that is distorting the image. Or it will do it if you are driving straight into the sun sometimes, presumably because it's doing a best efforts action in case the visibility problem is further exacerbated by dust which can be cleared.
It's strange to me that actual helpful features are misinterpreted as flaws, but that's how it is with new technology I guess.
Failing to detect actual rain, yes I see that too a little sometimes. I think they should augment with audio detection. There is a microphone, obviously, for the speech button, and depending on how things are wired sometimes speaker cones can also be repurposed as microphones.
