On April 14th, Tesla’s application for using millimeter wave for in-car monitoring was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This short-range motion sensing device can help prevent children from being left behind in the car and serve as an anti-theft measure.
In addition to Tesla, five other companies including Vayyar Imaging Ltd., Valeo North America, Infineon Technologies America Corp, IEE Sensing Inc., and Brose North America also received FCC approval.
Tesla was granted permission to use the 57-64 GHz frequency band in the car, and this radar may be part of Tesla’s upcoming driver monitoring system to ensure the safe operation of its fully autonomous driving system FSD and its beta version.
Given that some FSD beta testers have had their testing qualifications revoked by Tesla due to the lack of concentration while driving, and Consumer Reports easily bypassed Tesla’s driver detection and achieved “autonomous driving” in a video, it is believed that Tesla and major car companies will attach more importance to driver monitoring.
Finally, it is amazing that the Tesla driver monitoring data flow previously released by the foreign hacker “Green God” was so easily deceived. What is the significance of the in-car camera and the image recording? With Tesla frequently in the headlines regarding driving safety, we will have to wait and see what actions they will take next.
