Tesla North American model cancels the front radar, only the camera, Tesla is thinking?

now has high level driving The auxiliary function is often equipped with radar. Even many domestic product new forces have announced that in terms of the use of radar, both quantity or quality has exceeded a lot of joint venture brands, even more than Tesla.

But Tesla is anti-its way, and the radar is just use the camera before the vehicle model in the North American market. So what is he thinking?

Recently, according to media reports. Tesra announced the implementation of the driver assistance technology that only the camera without using radar. The model for models is Model 3 and Model Y. However, only the models for the sale of the North American market, and the overseas models are also equipped with radar sensors.

When upgrading from driving assistance technology to automatic driving technology, an indispensable configuration is radar. Now the radar has also been derived from various types, such as ultrasonic radar, and laser radar, and ordinary radar, because each radar has its own advantages and disadvantages, so most of the car manufacturing Commercial will improve the integrity of automatic driving by mixing several different radars.

But Tesla has a reverse road, wants to use only the camera to improve the automatic driving level. Tesla also ensures a technology that achieved a level similar to the radar by using multiple cameras to measure the depth of each direction.

Now, Tesla’s idea is to display only advanced features with the camera without having to help other sensors, and even cancel the radar sensor.

Tesla’s position is to complete the final automatic driving technology, the simplification of the system is necessary. Excessive sensors will increase the amount of information that needs to be processed and more cross-validation. This means that the car computer must do more work, it needs more timeAlways make an accurate decision and will consume more power. Car production costs have also increased significantly.

To this end, Tesla emphasizes that as long as it can look at the road, accurate judgment, simple, efficient, and automatic driving is the development direction. . To this end, it is necessary to vigorously develop artificial intelligence technology, which must be decided by software algorithm rather than the sensor. This is why Tesla is most concerned about manual intelligence technology.

Tesla announced that there is no radar sensor, there are currently two interpretations, an interpretation is Tesla decline, and does not provide advanced driving assistance. Another interpretation is that Tesla Based on the high-end driving assistance system that has embedded it. Because the large amount of data accumulated in the process of driving Tesla in the process of driving Tesla, it has improved the integrity of the automatic driving system.

But Tesla’s actions and world-recognized automatic driving developed. To this end, according to the US Expressway Safety Administration NHTSA’s new car evaluation data, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, which were produced after the 27th did not have any prominent security technology.

IIHS also canceled the TSP + (Top Safety Pick +) rating on Model 3. “Consumer Report” also decided to exclude Model 3 from its best-selling car list.
