Introduction | software is hard power
Tesla’s world-famous OTA, WiFi even on the official car will be able to download the latest software, with Apple iOS system is very much like. Benefit is often used to make a new vehicle, but also hides a lot of secrets.
it on the surface, would say updated some games and so on, but in fact the power, battery, Autopilot automatic driver assistance will be updated. But I do not know why, the more important the more it says unknown.
First, Tesla V10.0 What major changes have?
For example, after the Shanghai 421 fires, users find the software update subsequent flight mileage fewer, most are hidden 30 percentage power. There is speculation that this is Tesla to avoid the influence of the super-charge the battery and power lock part to reduce fire risk.
such an important update, it did not disclose to the user.
September 29, Tesla began to push V10.0 software to users in China. The official said: This upgrade pay more attention to entertainment experience, the introduction of Tencent video, love the Fantastic Art, Himalayan and other multimedia resources, while some functions Autopilot optimized the details of.
In fact, from the V10’s number seen, this is a major update, but the official would not say entertainment updates.
car poly Jun notified of the updates for the first time V10.0 from October 30, followed successively received two patches. Through practical experience and “endeavor to kill” tests, found some secret before did not expect.
The following is a hardware Model S 75D HW1.0 updating changes after V10.0 measured, for reference:
Second, the power increase: After tossing better opened
[123 ] the first is the power better. When the car in order to gather the king of Model S, for example, before approaching a curve too Anting a perfect circle, only open to about 65km / h, after you update V10.0 can be opened to 72km / h. Description, this update improves vehicle movement limit, better maneuverability and stability on high speed.
With the push, power performance at a low speed is also optimized subsequent patch.
direct experience is that under the 2019.32 version V10.0, to make the car more responsive acceleration. Sometimes just a light tap switches, the car actually have the feeling that point forward channeling, similar to fuel vehicles, “Chuang gear”, although it can accept, but with the electric car ride before driving impression, with access.
Even more puzzling is that this version will let passengers actually motion sickness!
colleagues to the airport that day I drove this car upgraded Model S, in the downtown area with traffic moving forward, suddenly filled with a burst stomach discomfort, but also a little dizzy. At that time I thought it was due to travel fatigue, did not care. The next day to open his own, still have a similar feeling. It is open since more than 50,000 kilometers, has never been the case.
Now, a little understanding of why some sensitive user will feel Wei to ES8 feeling a little seasick.
if they take this time to Tesla, it will be more faint. Because the car poly ES8 when you sat did not feel dizzy, and for the first time to experience the Tesla electric car after sitting dizzy when updating the software. People should not be a problem, because usually you can sit in the back as he ran Tesla high speed while at the computer to change the manuscript.
it quickly push the 2019.36 version, then accelerate “break action” and there is no feeling of motion sickness ride, acceleration and more agile, linear and delicate.
a short period of eight days, there is such a big change to make sense of driving a car, the software is really amazing.
three, like the Autopilot chi ability to enhance the
First of all, it can identify a pedestrian crossing. In Yanggao Road travel 50 meters before a crossroad, it is yellow, the car received a poly-Jun switches coasts. Then came a pedestrian on the sidewalk, he said strict violation, but in the country this situation is more common.
At this time, the vehicle about 20 meters from the pedestrian, car polyethylene Jun pedestrians can see, when the brakes are ready, the vehicle suddenly make rapid siren. Impression, this is the first Model S to alert pedestrians, used to be too close to the vehicle in front of the police. But, I do not know whether it can be like Volvo’s City Safety as if manual intervention will not automatically brake to stop?
Of course, we did not dare to try ah.
the remaining mainly to improve the Autopilot, the change is very large, the overall quality has improved. The following distance increases from the sixth speed gear 7, more logical Automatic car, playing with the light Ye change lanes, the vehicle speed identification bug substantially corrected, it is important that the ice cream when it recognizes the road the tube!
specific details are mentioned in the table above.
These changes, the percentage of 90 is positive. It’s hard to imagine this is based on HW1.0 of hardware implementation, because it has only a single camera to the front, one from the millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar 12, was already breaking up with Mobileye’s EyeQ3 chip.
car poly Jun uncertainty, which is based on Mobileye do follow-up rehabilitation protocol updates, Tesla still do their own updates.
it is the recognition that most, V10.0 can recognize the ice cream cones. Note, however, that the identification process is a bit strange. First, let down the speed from 80km / h around 30km / h – do you think it is to brake to stop, do not, it accelerated. Until one meter away from the ice cream cones, brake to stop it completely.
It may require secondary screening.
Tesla HW1.0 age, purchased only medium-range Bosch millimeter wave radar, detection range of 160 meters. In the eyes of a millimeter wave radar, wood, painted plastic (Videos Key!) Obstacle such glass-like transparent, translucent and man, metal obstruction will be significantly enlarged. It does not recognize either before it cones, the main reason for pedestrians.
Thus the present improvement it is likely to increase the weight of the right vision sensor. I.e., to enhance the ability to identify the camera. Another evidence is that it is in the car with more evidence lane line, rather than the front of the car was displaced. This change is the next most logical scenario, but when marking is unclear, it may go wrong.
In any case, this update V10.0 is a milestone. Eliminating black spots before some security, improve the ride quality and safety of the old owners. This should be another big credit data! After all, Tesla owners in the shadow mode provides nearly two million kilometers of actual driving data to the company.
by a large accumulation of data, the chip may be removed before some fear of redundancy, and effectively enhance the operator force. Visual ability using relatively thin, can determine the front obstacle.
Therefore, the future of competition is the software, the core competition of big data.
Poly vehicle Summary
must pay attention! This does not solve V10.0 there are several ills:
side of the road in front of the cement ▎AP state.
side under a state ▎AP “close” vehicles inserted.
▎ normal mode any vehicle approaching laterally.
Therefore, no matter how smart features to enhance the driver of any vehicle should be responsible for the safe running of the vehicle, do not blindly believe the autopilot function, they are currently Accessibility .
Finally, please note that Tesla owners, it is a sequential software push. The official said to be random, but according to car poly Jun observations may have some selection mechanism. For example, we received the first batch of cars than the updated user V10.0, a full month later.
Is it fear of the early software bug would be “non-cooperative media” or “sensitive user” exposure?
