Tesla released a video of a commute from home to office, including parking as a demonstration of its fully self-driving hardware. “The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons.
He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”
What’s really cool is the hardware mounting like the cameras. Via Electrek:
Tesla worked hard for a seamless integration of the cameras around the car and it shows — or actually it doesn’t show. The side cameras in the front fenders are actually integrated inside the Tesla badges that were already there in the previous version of the car. For the side cameras in the center of the car, Tesla made a small indentation in the center pillars between the doors.
Lots of other great technical info at the Electrek blog. One disappointment: it can’t be retrofitted on existing vehicles. Here are shots of two of the cameras integrated into the car’s frame:
