特斯拉表示，这将是其首次依靠摄像头视觉和神经网络处理来实现“Autopilot、全自动驾驶（FSD）和某些主动安全功能”。
TeslaIt was announced on Tuesday that driving aids such as the Autopilot of its best-selling models in North America would stop using radar sensors.
In a blog post titled "Visual transition to Tesla" (transition to Tesla Vision), the company said that from this month, the best-selling models Model 3 and Model Y for customers in the United States and Canada will use camera-based systems to achieve Autopilot functions such as traffic adjustment cruise control or automatic lane maintenance.
Radar sensors are relatively expensive, and it takes a lot of computing power to process data from radar sensors in vehicles. Tesla has previously told shareholders that he believes that "pure vision system is the ultimate need to achieve fully autonomous driving" and plans to turn to "Tesla Vision" in the US market. Musk said in a tweet in March that the company would move to a "purely visual" approach.
Tesla said it would be the first time it had relied on camera vision and neural network processing to achieve "Autopilot, fully autopilot (FSD) and some active security functions".
The company also warned that some functions of Autopilot and FSD systems may be limited during this period of technical adjustment.
"for a short period of time during this transition period, cars equipped with Tesla's vision system may have some functions temporarily limited or unable to be enabled, including: automatic steering will be limited to a maximum speed of 75 miles per hour (about 60 kilometers per hour) and a longer minimum following distance. Smart summoning (if equipped) and emergency lane deviation avoidance may be disabled at delivery. "
Customers who have ordered Model 3 or Model Y but are not aware of this adjustment will be notified before receiving their car.
All Tesla's new cars are equipped with a standard set of advanced driving assistance (ADAS) functions, namely Autopilot.
Tesla also sells a $10, 000 advanced software package called "fully autopilot" (FSD). The company gave some car owners early access to a beta version of FSD, effectively turning thousands of customers into software testers on public roads in the United States.
