If this is so trivial with front facing camera, why has Tesla not implemented it? Stationary object detection appears to be totally missing, whether it's Tesla repeatedly trying to smash itself into the concrete support posts for the Seattle Monorail, pedestrians at an intersection, emergency vehicles flashing a standardized set of lights, etc

My Model Y has no front facing radar, but supports automatic emergency braking with vision only (Autopilot currently limited to 80mph, it’s 90mph in our older S and X vehicles with front facing radar; the limitation will be raised once their models are reliable at higher speeds). I expect stationary object detection based on vision eventually, which is not possible with radar alone due to inherent technology limitations.

It looks like the latest Tesla OS release contains the feature I mentioned (emergency vehicle detection using emergency light detection). New in #Tesla 2021.24.12 Owners Manual for #Model3 #ModelY "If Model 3/Model Y detects lights from an emergency vehicle when using Autosteer at night on a high speed road, the driving speed is automatically reduced and the touchscreen displays a message informing you of the slowdown. You will also hear a chime and see a reminder to keep your hands on the steering wheel. When the light detections pass by or cease to appear, Autopilot resumes your cruising speed. Alternatively, you may tap the accelerator to resume your cruising speed. Never depend on Autopilot features to determine the presence of emergency vehicles. Model 3/Model Y may not detect lights from emergency vehicles in all situations. Keep your eyes on your driving path and always be prepared to take immediate action." https://mobile.twitter.com/analytic_eth/status/1440537502272536581 https://mobile.twitter.com/analytic_eth/status/1440537502272...
