Tesla 進行軟體更新推出「哨兵模式」，使用其自動駕駛相機防止闖入和盜竊。
在過去的幾個月 Tesla 車輛遭到了一系列的闖入，車主們一直努力尋找解決方案。Tesla CEO Elon Musk (馬斯克) 上個月表示將會推出利用 360° 鏡頭的監控功能，並稱之為 "哨兵模式"。今天， Tesla 宣佈首先推送該功能到在美國的 Model 3 車型，並於短期內推送至2017年8月後出廠的 Model S 和 Model X 車型。
Tesla 指 「哨兵模式」利用外置鏡頭偵測潛在威脅。如果偵測到小型威脅 (如有人靠在汽車上)，系統將切換到「戒備」 狀態，並在觸控式顯示屏上顯示信息，警告攝錄機正進行錄影。
當偵測到更嚴重的威脅 (如窗戶被打破)，系統將切換到 「警報」 狀態，啟動汽車警號、提升顯示屏亮度，並以最大音量播放來自汽車音響系統的音樂。與此同時，車主會收到來自Tesla 手機應用程式的報告，通知他們發生了事故。車主可以下載錄影片段 (由偵測到威脅前10分鐘開始)，但需要在啟用「哨兵模式」前將已格式化的 usb 磁碟機插入他們的汽車。車主每次使用「哨兵模式」時都必須轉到 「控制」 > 「安全和安保」 >「哨兵模式」來啟動該功能。
現在有請 cookie monster 為我們示範「哨兵模式」如何保護你的 Tesla。
以下是Tesla 在網誌中對「哨兵模式」的簡介:
Sentry Mode: Guarding Your Tesla
Sentry Mode adds a unique layer of protection to Tesla vehicles by continuously monitoring the environment around a car when it’s left unattended. When enabled, Sentry Mode enters a “Standby” state, like many home alarm systems, which uses the car’s external cameras to detect potential threats. If a minimal threat is detected, such as someone leaning on a car, Sentry Mode switches to an “Alert” state and displays a message on the touchscreen warning that its cameras are recording. If a more severe threat is detected, such as someone breaking a window, Sentry Mode switches to an “Alarm” state, which activates the car alarm, increases the brightness of the center display, and plays music at maximum volume from the car’s audio system.
If a car switches to “Alarm” state, owners will also receive an alert from their Tesla mobile app notifying them that an incident has occurred. They’ll be able to download a video recording of an incident (which begins 10 minutes prior to the time a threat was detected) by inserting a formatted USB drive into their car before they enable Sentry Mode.
Sentry Mode must be enabled each time a driver wants to use the feature by going to Controls > Safety & Security > Sentry Mode. The feature will begin rolling out today to U.S. Model 3 vehicles, followed by Model S and Model X vehicles that were built after August 2017.
While no alarm system can prevent against all vehicle thefts, break-ins and threats, we hope that with Sentry Mode and our other security features, your Tesla will be even more secure.
另外 Tesla 還宣佈發佈 「狗狗模式」 (Dog mode)，讓你的狗狗在車內保持涼快。
