I have come to find out from a Chuck Cook video that the system will revert to steering wheel nag, if it cannot monitor the driver with the internal camera. I think this is a great solution and redundancy. I plan to use this to my advantage and have a camera shuttle to block the camera when I see fit.I am able to use FSD while covering the internal camera in my testing. It does give a warning about it, but it kept operating for a short 3 mile drive in my first test.
Tesla sent out a 1 month free trial of autopilot to all customers several months back. I got it on my Model 3. I always kept the cabin camera on the Model 3 covered, and it wouldn’t even let me activate FSD with it covered. I wonder if they changed this?I have come to find out from a Chuck Cook video that the system will revert to steering wheel nag, if it cannot monitor the driver with the internal camera.

This is my problem with all driver assist tech, FSD and beyond. Sometimes you cannot intervein in time, it can become physiologically impossible. In an unprotected turn the difference between out of the way and on a path to collision is a matter of a couple feet. Hairpin turns, as soon as the wheel is over the line you could be in a guardrail or over the cliff.Had a bad "intervention" today just 5 minutes after trying it out that I couldn't even prevent from making a dangerous decision fast enough. Got lucky it wasn't a head on accident.
