so what's up guys today I'm in a car I'm stuck in traffic and I have this amazing idea to make
a video so don't mind me if I'm not looking at the camera because I have to you know pay attention so
I don't die today I'm gonna be talking about how Tesla's can't have the 360 camera a lot of people
think that because the Tesla has eight cameras and whatnot it has eyes 360 degrees around the
car that you can put like a 360 camera in your car what BMWs Nissan's infinities all those other cars
and car manufacturers actually add there's a slight not a slight there's actually a big
problem to why they cannot do that I'm gonna be explaining that in this video so stay tuned keep
watching and hopefully you stayed interested let's get started so the first reason will
be that the cameras aren't pointed in the right direction now of course the cameras are looking
everywhere they're looking 360 degrees around the car but they're not pointed in the direction you
want especially not in the directions you want it for actual 360 camera on your Center - for a 360
view you would need about four cameras one zero at the front at the logo near the logo somewhere
there ones at the back usually near the logo or like the button for the tailgate or lift
gate whatever the trunk whatever buttons there is back there and then you would have two more one on
each side mirror that would give you a full 360 view so how the cars accomplished this 360 view
is the back counterpoints back in a wide-angle side cameras point kind of site but just a bit
towards the back in a wide-angle front counter points straight in like a wide angle so you
actually see the ground and everything but the Tesla cameras they can't really see the ground
I'll say that so the the cameras aren't pointed in the right direction they're at you meant for
the autopilot system they're not meant to give you any convenience advantage of a 360 camera
and there's a good reason for that because you don't they can add more cameras to make it 360
but you don't need them why don't you need them well the reason is the cameras the reason is that
you actually won't be driving the car all that much so most of most of the time especially if
you bought the full self-driving option you won't even drive the car so you won't even need to know
the Tesla today can get out of a parking spot even park in a parking spot itself just you
know you can't just leave the car to let it do that by itself you have to actually physically
go near the parking spot and select oh yeah auto park and whatnot you can summon the car towards
you at like the front of a gate or something so in general you don't really need it today
anyways it's for the people who didn't buy it so it doesn't really matter much anyways now when
more people start using full self-driving one Tesla actually this is more of their features
of full self-driving you won't actually need the cameras as three 360 cameras think about it
I said what are 360 cameras actually used for in cars they're used so that if you can park easily
you can see where your tires are you can see all your surrounding know everything about it and you
don't actually hit anything but if the cameras can already do it along with their sensors and
there's really no point it's just it's just a waste of hardware basically because he won't be
using it in the near future and the reason they designed the cars in such a way that is that oh
my gosh this light only last like ten seconds not even ten is like five seconds the reason
they designed their cars that way is so that you actually buy the full self-driving option
because I know that otherwise either need you need to keep it that way it's a good thing but
generally I would assume Tesla has thought of it through so that when their plan action comes into
fruition they would know that the people wouldn't actually want or need or have a need at least for
this 360 camera because you actually don't need it so what I'm gonna do is actually show you on
my infinity so in my Infiniti SUV here you can see that I have 360 camera on the center - once I put
into a reverse they pop up amazing amazing feature especially for that SUV all my gosh is it such a
breeze to park that car because of that I would need at least a backup camera in that car for
otherwise I think I should be fine but generally the 360 cameras help a lot especially in that SUV
where the visibility is not even that good because everything is so high up how do they work well
there's one camera right under the Infiniti logo at the front in the front grille there's a second
camera at the back of course the back camera the last two cameras are actually located under each
of the side mirrors that's how you get the 360 view now BMW does something different I'll explain
it using the Infiniti of course BMW what they do is they try to make like a 3d replica of the 360
camera so they actually make you like as if you can like roam around and actually see across the
car so how did it do that they basically take the same yards like I told you except they have
one side words facing camera on each of the bumper so on the front bumper you have to sideways facing
cameras outwards and on the back bumper you have to sideways facing cameras outwards and obviously
you would have them under your side mirrors and everything just so that you can get the
360 view that you wanted that's what happened in a BMW that's how to create the 3d visualization
in a Tesla none of the cameras are positioned in a way that you can actually make that happen now
you can make some sort of 3d diagram just if you wanted would like to have sonar Simpson radars
and all that but generally speaking it's much more complicated and considering you wouldn't even want
to use it after like 2 or 3 years whenever they release our full self-driving and when you have
to get it there's really no point in actually having the 360 camera everyone says they want
a 360 camera and let me tell you this car doesn't have a 360 camera I don't mind it because it's a
car so it's not as bad but in an SUV I definitely want one I haven't driven the Model X have been
in the Model X while I was driving and I can I think visibility is not as bad as you think
because the back camera is really wide and what the sensors do is they do a clever thing that you
tell you the exact distance they are away from the object when you're going forward or backwards say
you're parking to a garage forwards if you have boxes or it's just stuff laying around right it
would actually tell you the exact distance you are away it's not like a distorted camera angle where
you just slowly going forward going forward going forward and then next you know you just basically
hit it I feel like that's a better step in the right direction than adding 360 cameras especially
if you're not gonna use it so it all comes down to the fact that most of the people won't actually
use it in the near future they will now if Tesla actually implements it but in the near future
once they get their full self-driving out I doubt anyone will have to be using the cameras at all
for parking especially because - me and Rover - I can't allow you that is the biggest reason why
Tessa doesn't actually implement it it's not like it's just a software update now if they wanted to
if the cameras are positioned in that way because you have one camera at each b-pillar they can
possibly make a 360 view if it's wide enough but you don't have a front counter because your front
camera is not located in the front grille area or just ripe in front of the bonnet the hood it is
actually located my encouragement so much traffic are you crazy all I want to do is go through oh my
gosh there's a truck stopped at the side of the road oh my gosh so yeah they can possibly do it
and maybe they might if it is positioned that way but considering we haven't seen any footage from
the b-pillar cameras it's hard to say anything really yeah that's why it's kind of hard to
develop more more difficult to make a 360 camera honestly I don't actually mind I'd rather have
their team focus on full self-driving and get that ready rather than focusing on a 360 camera
that's just my one word piece of not waterworks a long video - anyways so yeah I would like to
thank you for watching hope you enjoyed this one I basically talked awhile sitting in traffic I swear
I only moved like 200 meters in time and talked this whole videos been like 12 minutes oh [ __ ]
box in your traffic is insane damn Oh model 3 is coming back I'm amazing by the way the white model
3 looks of me I don't like the other colors only left white just it's so clean and minimalistic
especially the white interior oh my gosh yes I need it anyways I think you for watching hope
hope to see you later hope you watch my other videos by the way subscribe please subscribe
see I'm looking at the camera I'm risking my life to tell you subscribe ok see ya peace
