Before / After washing the solar panels
+12% more energy, definitely worth the effort
Also I love the "Charge on Solar" feature which just siphons off whatever extra solar energy the house isn't using to charge my Cybertruck
Love seeing the Cybertruck used here, it's also a great mobile power source. With the capacity of more than 9 power walls on wheels, it will make this setup easy to deploy and run -- very cool
Every one of these dots is an actual crash from the fleet. Real world speeds, collisions, and people. Not just the regulatory test cases.
The richness of this data is what enabled the result. With simulation we can replay the crashes and measure the forces on the human body model.
Then sweep through restraint deployment times to find that deploying earlier gives the time for the bag to be inflated optimally and seat belt pretension before the occupant has moved out of position.
But it takes time for crash accelerometers to be certain. Lowering that time threshold risks unwanted deployments.
Using vision gives the vehicle confidence to reduce that timing. The camera sees the impending impact and together with the sensors tell the restraint controller to reduce the filter and act sooner.
The Y Axis shift in Predicted Injury Severity is based on sensors in the human body models from rerunning the crash simulations with the faster detection threshold.
Such a reduction in injury severity across the spectrum is unheard of, let alone doing this via an update over the air.
I'm extremely proud of the analysis team's work and dedication. Going above and beyond to ask "we have the safest car on the road but can we make it even safer?" And then working with the vision team to build the predictions needed to make it happen. Rigorously tested in simulation and then in physical crash testing. Now deployed and improving lives.
I watch the video on loop and just imagine each dot, a person.
FSD gracefully avoided someone drifting into my lane this morning. As I looked over I could see the driver on their phone, made me wonder - should FSD honk if taking evasive action?
