Tesla vision parking sensors test Update: I measured the trash can to the front of the car this morning and it was 41 inches or 3.41 feet. vs what the car measured at 23 inches. i.postimg.cc/m...
It’s well known that the model 3 front cameras have a field of view blind spot around 15 ft in front of the car. It possible that while it can detect the trash can, once you get too close to it and stayed there for a while, the car “forgot” that the trash can was there because it was outside of its field of view. If enthusiasts knew this would be an issue Tesla should have as well. Car should not have been sold without USS until this was solved. Removing sensors then promising a camera based replacement system that doesn’t work was so wrong.
I think what you said is true but I do wonder if determining distances with backing up is better since the backup camera is at the back edge of the car aiming down on the floor and doesn't have the blind spot with the front hood unlike the front cameras do. At the very least that would solve 1 out of the 2 scenarios. I am also curious how this same scenario operates during the daylight.
My old Ford Focus from 2015 just does this with a few ultrasonic sensors and it completely reliable, doesn't matter if it's raining, if bright day or night. Why Tesla, why.
Still a long way to go, the USS in my model 3 do way better. Hope Tesla further improves the vision based system as technically it should be almost as accurate as USS.
Probably because it’s too dark and the cameras are geeking out with the lighting or/and humidity… my car is bad too. Didn’t expect anything less after the removal of the sensors though.
This will never be as reliable as USS, It is really disappointing that Tesla has made this move especially for a car that is so expensive. It really shows that they do not prioritize their customers after the car is delivered. From the service center problems to the removing of proven USS technology for some half baked "Tesla Vision". Not to mention how awful the wind shield wipers operate.
Please do more testing in parking lots/parallel parking. Curious to see how that works in various scenarios. I think for the initial rollout, I think its better to be more conservative and continue to refine the Tesla Vision Park Assist than to be super aggressive and then people's Tesla starts hitting poles or whatever and blaming Tesla for that. Would be curious to see how this performs in daylight as well.
USS on my MY don’t work a whole lot better, certainly can’t trust it for getting close. Just give me a Birds Eye view like other less expensive cars have. No Birds Eye/360 view, no RCTA, not even rear AEB. No ventilated seats. And I took a $20k hit on depreciation. After 6 months of ownership, not a happy owner.
… improvement which may never come, as Tesla engineers no doubt already did the same tests, but did not know how to deal with the problem of wobbling lines and unreliables guesses of distances
Let’s be honest. If you bought a new car without the sensors you should be pissed. We were all screwed. And we all need to get together and show Tesla/Elon we’re pissed, otherwise he’ll keep taking advantage of us. Stop being super fans. They will not get better if we’re not 100% honest. The new vision update IDEA is cool, but in reality it’s TRASH. This is all the best of the best engineers could do in 6 months? It’s not going to get much better. Not with the current hardware. And retrofitting will not be an option, so we’re screwed. I suggest selling your Tesla now before HW4 is released.
I got the same error initially that prk assiat is not available when Iam prking in garage and sode wall is 2-3ft away. It also says side pillar cam is blocked and park assist unavailable. Now a days it says aide pillar cam is blocked and prk assist degraded. I still do not get the inches when park assist is degraded or earlier park assist not available. Tesla replaced side camera but still the same issue. Iam on 2023.12.5 no USS 2023 M3LR
Not ready? No, not at alll, and I am afraid it will never get ready anymore. After all, if this is the best Tesla engineers can come up with, I am no longer optimistic about further improvements, given they themselves no doubt have already done the same (disappointing) tests as the ones shown here and elsewhere. It remains just impossible to guess in a reliable way what is on blind spots that are not covered by a camera.
Please please post the same drive at same time for every update you get. It would be great to see how it evolves. It has potential to be better than the ultra sonic sensors, which aren't good enough for me where parking can have 10cm clearance. Going red and telling me to stop isn't helpful. Vision will be especially great trying to line myself as closely aligned as possible to a wall or kerb. If they can get accurance down to 1cm that will be awesome. Phillip.
Once the camera loses sight of the object below it's field of view, I'm guessing it's doing some mathematical computation for distance. It no longer sees the object, but has to take your acceleration, approach angle and I'm guessing all kinds of data and interpolate where the object is without being able to see it. I downloaded the update last night and tried it. I used a 5 gallon bucket as a test. When it lost sight of the bucket, it still gave a distance but the accuracy varied every time I pulled up to it. One time, I hit the bucket and it said I had 20" left. I'm guessing it'll work a lot better for vehicles that remain in view. I'm worried about objects that go out of view.
2 things 1) Eyeballing it to claim the distance is wrong is not an appropriate way to disprove whether something is correct or not. 2) The front camera is notoriously the one with the most reported issues in 100% accurate distance. It'd be better to show distances from sides, and rear as well to get a good idea if it's working as intended.
@@lonelydriver82 That is good that the park assist audio chime is always on and not a toggle switch. One more follow up question. You are not a FSD user correct. I hope this is going out to everyone who don't have EAP or FSD.
i wish i could attach a picture i measured with tape measure this morning since the car wasn't moved from parking it last night, and it was 41 inches which is 3.41 feet. the camera wide angle distorts the edges making it seem like it was less than that.
@@lonelydriver82 can you please swithc the car to metric and do a retest. Inches has a larger error area than centimeters. If you cahnge the units in the car to centimeters and remeassure that will be more accurate. Also - you have to try and test when parking parallel to cars on the curb and with not much space.
Hey, I think this works quite nice for the beginning. Also appreciate that you see what's left and right from the car! Could finally work better than USS solutions.
