Yes, you can do this now in Teslas, I think. They added it to signaling for lane change, and there's a swipe on the screen you can do to bring it up.

Oh yeah I forgot you can just leave it up with the rear too. It just seems like a perfect fit for the elongated screen above the yoke. Then I can continue using it the main screen normally.

Hopefully I can save it to the quick action bar, or those s3xy buttons.

One little grumble about the turn signal camera view on the Model Y. It’s down below my hands and hard to see. I’d,prefer when the turn signal is on the camera view be more conspicuous

Ideally you would have extra internal sidemirror screens sitting against the a pillars on the dash. But overall I'm not that much a fan of screens instead of mirrors yet, in that like the lack of a HUD, refocusing your eyes from the road to the screen and back takes to long. They need to have a lens in front of the screens so they replicate the focal distance of the standard mirrors.

If anything the simulated overhead follow view on the screen seems more practical overall as you can see everything in relation and don't need to look every at once. Then have that on the HUD with your speed and nav and I'll be very happy.

My driving habits have gotten worse over the years. Kinks in the neck must have stopped me from regular head checks and the kids get on me for not signaling. That said I don't speed much anymore and try to avoid following too close. Still accident free for whatever reason.

It will be weird having the CT and our other cars. Having to turn on blinkers to bring up cameras is a good thing. The signaling will probably improve but head checks will get worse. Having crazy acceleration in the CT and then eh in the other cars could be problematic.

This all said I will most likely get a real (not homegrown) modern EV before the CT. Maybe the Bolt.
In summary going from one car to another is going to get weirder. The interfaces are going to be a lot different.

Bolt is $26k atm I think. Not bad if you need a garage warmer...

But yeah its all going to change a bit how we drive and what things we need to learn how to do. At some point we will only have to remember how to talk to tell FSD where to go. That's probably a good thing as we get older.

Its funny the tech develops opposite to humans over 60. Tech gets better humans get worse. Hit my third kangaroo just 30minutes ago, thats the third one in 3 weeks. I've on hit like 7-8 in 33 years of driving, so my ratio is going way down atm. I'm now officially a roo magnet.

Bolt is a great car for local use. But the 50kw cap on DC fast charging would make it less than ideal for anything resembling a road trip.

All I can say is I'm glad this is a prototype. Tesla has another 18 months to figure it out before setting up production.
12 max. If he expects to hit 'volume' production in 2023 (as he said) they would have to have a working production line at the end of 2022 or early in 2023.

In the march of 9s FSD will probably recognize kangaroos in the future. I imagine they are pretty unpredictable if you see them at all in advance of collision.

I had a snake under my car on Saturday. It would be neat if, in the future, the car recognized and visualized all kinds of animals. I would prefer that to be a low priority over actually working super well. Higher on the list would be recognizing, visualizing, and appropriately responding to emergency vehicles, flagmen, police and highway patrol, car jackers, warning signs, etc.

Its a combination of poor visibility and sheer stupidity on their part, in that they naturally think they are still the fastest kid on the block and can cross the road in time before you. They aren't. Especially not against my sons WRX, even though I was only going 40kmh down our 3km long driveway, because I knew they were out from the way our German sheperds were barking when I left. Needs a new aluminium hood....I thought I'd done yet another radiator but it somehow unscrewed the radiator cap instead. Still annoying tho.

I watched an episode of Carwow the other day where he tests a M3 versus a EM cutout, a stuffed cat, and a kangaroo soft toy. EM and tha kangaroo survived, the cat didn't.

So I can't wait for FSD just for wildlife avoidance.

I had a scorpion on my toilet roll just then...geez, what's nature got against me today? He obviously went down the gurgular quick smart. We had 100-120kmh winds all day today, was nuts. Next time I'm just going to stay in bed. I think my FSD isn't getting enough sleep from all the late night posting here. :oops:

Your eyes have to refocus for mirrors, too. Don't confuse what you've become accustomed to with 'better'.

-Crissa
Um my eyes don't have to because the things I look at in the mirror are a similar distance away as those I look at out front, some 10-30m away. A screen showing a camera feed requires me to focus under a meter away. Try it. Super obvious even when just comparing a reversing camera and mirrors.

Perhaps this is a FWD facing camera some here are asking for?
