Tesla starts using cabin cameras to make sure drivers are paying attention
Tesla has switched on a driver-facing camera in some of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to make sure drivers are paying attention to the road when they use Autopilot, the company’s driver assistance system.
The camera-based driver monitoring system was switched on in Model 3 and Model Y vehicles after Tesla modified these to exclude radar sensors and delivered some without key advanced driver safety features switched on.
The technical changes come amid probes of Tesla-involved crashes by government auto safety authorities in the U.S. and China.
