Tesla is planning another update for its Full Self-Driving (FSD)-system: With version 13.4 the processing of audio input in combination with video data. This innovation is intended to improve the recognition of emergency vehicles and other important noises and thus further increase road safety.
Audio integration: what's behind it?
According to Ashok ElluswamyTesla's Vice President of AI, FSD V13.4 will be able to, acoustic signals such as sirens of emergency vehicles and analyze their position and direction. This is done using the Doppler effect, a physical principle that describes the change in frequency of sound waves during movement. This enables the system to determine whether a siren is approaching or being reflected by buildings.
Tesla uses the internal microphone of the vehicles, which is already sufficiently sensitive to detect loud noises such as sirens - even while driving.
FSD becomes even more intelligent
In addition to pure audio analysis, the system will be able to
- Recognize emergency vehicles more quicklybefore they appear in the cameras' field of vision.
- Filter audio interferencee.g. sirens from radio broadcasts. Tesla The system plans to separate audio signals that are played via the car radio from the recorded sounds.
- Make more precise decisionsby combining visual and acoustic data.
Data protection and audio sharing
Tesla introduces with the update a opt-in function for audio sharing function. Users can voluntarily consent to their vehicle recording short audio clips when an emergency vehicle is detected and sending them anonymously to improve FSD functionality. Tesla anonymized. Tesla The company emphasizes that this data is encrypted and processed anonymously. If you feel uncomfortable, you can deactivate audio sharing separately without having to forego other FSD functions.
Outlook: What's next?
The FSD V13.4 update is a further step towards making Tesla's autonomous driving system safer and more efficient. The current version V13.2.1 already introduced improvements in the detection of school buses. With the integration of audio and video data Tesla soon be able to better handle complex traffic situations such as school zones.
The combination of innovative technology and continuous improvement underlines Tesla's leading role in the field of autonomous driving.
