Elon Musk explains the camera inside Tesla's Model 3
- dwighttk 8y agotldr: Elon Musk is still claiming his current vehicles are capable of level 5 autonomy pending a software update and regulatory approval. That camera is for an autonomous taxi service.
- java-man 8y agoI wonder if there should be a way to permanently disable the camera via hardware switch. Similarly, there should be a way to disable any kind of autonomous driving via hardware switch. in other words, it should be technically impossible to control the car via software once the switch is engaged. I know, CAN bus devices are all controlled by the software, but these two subsystems must be isolated with something like an RS-232 link and a very conservative protocol between them.
- justtopost 8y agoThere are some can hacking hardware than can do it, but easiwr just to find and disconnect said device, perhaps even phonehome ability. I know I did in my car equipped with OnStar.
- java-man 8y agoThis may not be doable with Tesla. I don't have schematics to prove it, but I think these systems are too coupled to each other, there is no way to disable. Which means there will always be a way to hack into the system remotely and drive a high value target into oncoming traffic, for example.
