I think the biggest lie about the Tesla sensor suite as it exists today is that it’s suitable for Tesla Vision and that it can satisfy Musk’s fair concept of “if humans can drive with only vision, a computer should be able to, too.”
As far as I understand, those cameras are roughly equivalent to functionally 1080p devices which can’t even coherently recreate license plate characters a few meters away from your vehicle.
- Kirby64 3y agoThe current resolution of the cameras on the HW3 systems is 1.2 megapixels. HW4 is 5 megapixels. So, less than 1080p per camera for most of the Tesla cars is HW3. 1280x960, I believe. Not sure why reading license plates is a meaningful indicator of capability though. Most people can't read license plates clearly from a distance that doesn't impede driving, and there's many lighting-relating issues that make reading license plates difficult for cameras.
- andrewmcwatters 3y agoAt less than 1080p, you can’t make out digits one car length in front of you. How are you going to read the speed limit?
- Kirby64 3y agoSpeed limit signs are much larger, and much clearer than license plates. Anecdotally, speed limit signs are detected quite a distance away in my Model 3. Certainly much greater than 1 car length.
