Autonomous driving is a type of driving support function, which is divided into five steps, level 1 to level 5.The radar cruise control, which is often mounted on domestic cars, is level 1, and as well as lane keep assists, the driving support function that allows you to pass the lane when you relax your hands is level 1.

Level 2 automates both front and rear directions like radar cruises and left and right directions, such as handle operations. A typical example is Tesla's sales in 2015 under the name Autopilot, and this function is now standard equipment for all vehicles. Like radar cruises, the computer automatically controls the distance between the stops and all vehicle speeds, and the curve can be automatically turned on the handle. Tesla can be used on a general road called FSD BETA, and by using it with navigation, the software that can be handled by the right left, pause, pedestrians, etc. will be tested on a US public road with about 2,000 beta testers. I am. Nissan is the earliest in this field in this field, and the new Nissan Reef has been installed on the new Nissan Reef in 2017. Since then, it has been attached to well-selling cars such as E-POWER Serena and notebooks, which are hybrid vehicles.

The important thing in level 2 is that the responsibility for driving is always a driver, and the computer is just a driving support.Level 2 Autonomous driving does not allow you to see, let go, or read smartphones or reading.Car manufacturers are required to attach a function to monitor drivers, as drivers' acts such as viewing and letting go are dangerous.This article is related to this driver monitoring, which confirms that the driver is holding the steering wheel by detecting the load applied to the steering wheel, and whether the driver is open due to the inside of the car, or pays forward.The mainstream system is to monitor whether or not.

Level 3-5 is responsible for driving during operation.Therefore, it is possible to see and read smartphones while driving.However, it is another matter whether such driving is allowed as a law.The difference between level 3-5 is how much difficult situation occurs, the computer gives up.Level 3 has a system like a Honda traffic jam pilot, forcing driving to replace drivers when the speed is higher than a certain level.You can watch DVDs while you are congested on the highway.

Although there are very few level 3 compatible vehicles, almost all of these cars are equipped with a camera monitoring system.

At Level 4, it is possible to drive to the computer almost completely under normal weather conditions, and level 5 is a completely unnecessary system for the driver.In addition to level 4, Waymo, a subsidiary of the U.S. Alphabet, has developed a mechanism that allows remote drivers in remote areas in an emergency to remotely control cars, and actually operate in multiple US cities.I am running not an exam).

The news this time is that Tesla, which mainly used driver monitoring (hereinafter referred to as DMS) mainly by handle load detection, adopted DMS by in -car camera. In fact, Tesla had a model 3 released in 2017, and RAVEN, a minor change version of the model S/X, installed a back mirror in the car. It has been proved to have not been used in a familiar hacker inside. DMS due to handle load detection is often used in domestic and foreign cars, but Tesla drivers who ship the most in the world in the world have successfully deceived the hand -loaded sensor, and in fact. There were multiple cases of driving without looking in front of them. Depending on the autonomous driving system, there are systems that cannot respond to sudden interrupts or cannot maintain a lane with a sudden curve, but Tesla's level 2 is highly perfection, which is excessive trust. I think there was a driver. Reference: Tesla level 2 Automatic driving function, no accelerator brake operation, 291km continuous driving video

According to Kevin Smith's Twitter, where the new model model Y was delivered today, his model Y was equipped with a camera DMS.Let's look at the image immediately.

Firmware is 2021.4.15.11.You can see that this is the fourth week of 2021.It's a January version.By the way, according to Teslafi, which tracks the firmware of more than 10,000 Tesla vehicles, no other user has this version of the firmware.You can imagine that this 11 branch part is probably related to DMS.

This is the setting screen of "Autopilot safety function", which is the standard of all vehicles.Setting speed limit during autonomous driving, fine -tuning the timing of preliminary collision warning, assistance sound of lane displacement warnings and assistance by actual handle operation, emergency lane deviation, blind spot collision warning, automatic brake, and sudden start suppression.。It says that emergency lane deviations cannot be used yet.I think Tesla is the first time that all vehicles have automatic brakes and sudden starting suppression functions.12:51 Update: This vehicle is a vehicle that is not equipped with an autonomous driving radar.

This is a setting about the operation of the autopilot, and the number of options after the second and subsequenters is increasing because the vehicle purchases the option of FSD. If there is no FSD, only the first one means auto steer means level 2 autonomous. Navigate on Autopilot can automatically drive by setting navigation to automatically change highways, enter lamps, transfer to other expressways, and get off the highway from the lamp. function. It is allowed in most countries other than Japan. The following traffic lights and pauses are functions that can automatically run according to signals and pause signs when using an autopilot on a general road. However, this function does not include right and left turns, etc., just go straight. The green light chime is the same. The FSD preview is a function that displays cars, people, corn, pole, and dogs around the vehicle on the dashboard. Because it is a preview, there is no change in driving even if you turn it on. The last summon is a function that moves the vehicle only back and forth with a smartphone (the key can be used in the United States). Strangely, Smart Summon is not enabled in this vehicle.

Smart Summon is a function in the parking lot (in the United States, parking lot is not a public road) and can move cars to the designated location unmanned.Basically, it is a function to call a car from the parked place to the place where you are.This should be usable if you buy an FSD option, but if you can't use it (at the moment), it means that some development is in progress.12:51 Update: Smart Summon seems to be good because there are some functions under development because it is a vehicle without radar, just like an emergency lane deviation prevention.

It is a long -awaited camera!This screen is a screen called release notes, and you can see the history of the firmware update.

As you can see in the description of the release notes and the description of the control panel, this firmware does not seem to be off -car DMS.

Please see Kevin Smith immediately!

Q. 今日買ったばかりのモデルYですよね？納車、おめでとうございます！どんな感じですか？A.Model Y is wonderful so far.I had a model 3 before, so it was smooth even if I switched to model Y.Model 3 and Model Y are basically the same interior, and they have a little sitting position.I did not notice the problem of manufacturing quality (such as Chile).Delivery is smooth (Note, no people intervene, a new style delivery method that brings a car from the parking lot by yourself) is smooth, everything is wonderful!

Q. KevinさんはFSDオプションを購入したんですか？市街地の自動運転ができるFSDベータには参加していますか？A.I bought the FSD option, but I didn't participate in FSD beta.The model 3 I was riding in the previous model 3 purchased the FSD option, and for now, the function is the same, even if there is a radar.The maximum speed of the auto pilot was 90mph (145km/h) before, but it was 75MPH (121km/h), and smart summon and emergency lane deviation from the eruption could no longer be used.I don't care about the emergency lane deviation, so it works only when it's Autopilot OFF.I'm running with the auto pilot as much as possible.Translator Note (updated 12:51), this vehicle is not physically equipped with radar.It is a new model.

Q. 車内カメラDMSで自動運転レベル2走行を試してみましたか？ハンドル荷重ベースのDMSと比べて、何か違いは感じましたか？A.In this new model Y, the inside of the car camera DMS is enforced and cannot be removed.You can choose whether to send and share the data taken by the inside of the car to Tesla to connect to AI training and improvement, but you cannot turn off the DMS with the inside of the car.At the moment, the difference between the in -car camera DMS is not felt, and the warning if you are not holding the steering wheel will be at the same interval as the model 3 you used before.There was no big difference even if I covered the inside of the car so that it was completely invisible.As my guess, at the moment, the in -car camera DMS is in the phase of training and verification, and I think that something like driving will come out later.

Q. インタビューに回答ありがとうございます。日本のEVsmart読者の方々にメッセージください！A.Japanese Tesla and autonomous driving fans!hello!I think it will be time to be satisfied with the quality and reliability of the autonomous driving function by Tesla's electric vehicle and Tesla (translator note: not using radar) vision.Work with the government and members to ask for the future of the car and support.It seems that Japan is dragging fossil fuels, but I think this is a losing battle.Japan has great skills and invests in robots and automation.I think Tesla continues to move these industries more strongly than any other company.Accept this change and make the future together!

Thank you, Kevin, for the interview with the sudden request.Image: Kevin Smith license (text / translation: Hiroshi Yasukawa)
