tesla driver monitoring

The tesla driver monitoring tag covers discussions about the cabin-camera system Tesla uses to verify driver attention during Level 2 automation. A notable thread highlights a reported bypass where Chinese drivers place tiny doll heads near the rearview mirror to trick the camera, undermining the safety feature. This example illustrates broader concerns about the reliability of driver-monitoring safeguards and the fragile social contract between automation software, sensors, and human behavior. The tag explores how such hacks expose weaknesses in current Level 2 systems and the challenges of ensuring genuine driver supervision.
