This is what a Tesla car ‘sees’ as it drives your car

Tesla plans to equip all its new cars with the technology needed for these vehicles to be self-driving cars. Now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweets a demonstration video of how that’ll work and what these vehicles “see” when it’s out on the road. The video shows a passenger in the driver’s seat (because of the law) but the car itself is doing all the driving. You can see the car navigate through traffic and stop lights before it parks itself at its destination. The video shows the car’s interiors, car’s left rear, medium range, and right rear cameras, too.

You see a variety of color boxes and lines in the video. Colored boxes for “in path objects” are for things like road lights, objects, and road signs. It also highlights people, other vehicles, and other hazards that human drivers might take into consideration when driving. According to Tesla, its new cars will come with onboard computers that carry “40 times the computing power of the previous generation” so it can process vision, sonar, and radar imagery that the car takes in.
