Tesla cameras will monitor drivers' attentiveness

Tesla Vehicle Software Update Includes New Feature – Driver Tracking

through the internal chambers of the car at the moment when the autopilot is operating.Engineers noted that the "self-driving" feature requires constant attention from the user, but it is criticizedfor the fact that the driver can easily deceive the device.

For example, users could activatefunction and leave the driver's seat. The new feature will determine how attentive the driver is while driving. Tesla cars used to do this using sensors in the steering wheel to make sure the driver was in control. Other car manufacturers have used internal sensors to keep track of where the driver's eyes are looking. This means that the car may slow down or disable the automatic driving function if the driver, for example, starts looking at the phone screen.

A new software update for Tesla vehicles, which has been reported by several media outlets, shows that the camera above the car's rearview mirror will begin performing a similar function.

This camera can “detect and warn ofdriver's inattention when the autopilot is on ”. However, Tesla noted that the data from the camera will not be transmitted to the company, and the exchange of data is not included in the car settings at all.

Tesla, which last year disbandedher press service, did not make a statement about the reasons for the appearance of the new function. However, this update coincided with several stories where motorists turned on the autopilot, but did not control the movement.
