March 8 news, recently some online channels released a video of "Tesla Autopilot automatic avoid puppy". According to the blogger who uploaded the video, Tesla saved the puppy's life through the automatic assisted driving function.
Judging from the display content of the central control screen, the Tesla was driving at night at the time, and also turned on the Autopilot function (automatic assisted driving), driving forward at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour.
Suddenly a puppy appeared on the side of the road and was ready to cross the road. The Autopilot system then recognizes the puppy as it crosses the middle of the road, and displays a visual image of it crossing the road on the central control screen.
From the video, the driver did not have time to take braking measures, but then the system quickly reduced the speed of the car to less than 10 km / h, avoiding the puppy who was crossing the road. The Autopilot system did not exit and resumed driving.
In fact, as early as the end of 2020, Tesla was exposed to the discovery of new 3D models of visual visualization in firmware, including models with new cats and dogs. Subsequently, this function was added to the car in early 2021, and the information of these animals can be displayed on the central control screen.
Later in 2021, Tesla refined the pet identification of the FSD Beta V10, which can distinguish between large dogs and small dogs. At present, few car companies on the market have this ability.
At a time when radar sensors are widely used, Tesla still uses vision-based autonomous driving or assisted driving solutions. In the case of the Model 3/Y, the vehicle offers eight cameras that surround the body and cover 360°.
Although Tesla has also been criticized by the brand for being too aggressive in self-driving or assisted driving in the past few years, the company continues to build a gradually improved autonomous driving neural network through the Autopilot software that works on millions of Tesla vehicles to improve the active safety of vehicles. The data given by Tesla also shows that the safety of the self-driving or assisted driving system developed by the company is much higher than that of manual driving.
