Tesla introduces Park Assist measurement for vision-only vehicles,In 2022.45.11

A known hacker has observed that the electric vehicle maker is rolling out Park Assist distance measurement features to cars that are not equipped with Ultrasonic sensors. The hacker noted that the Park Assist provided visual and audio alert of surrounding objects. Also park assist as the release notes say, not autopark that I typed while in autotweet mode.

Looks like 2022.44.11 includes the new vision autopark for USS-less cars:

This suggests that the vision-based system may eventually be superior to the previous solution, as the sensors are only placed at the front and rear of the vehicle. The new Park Assist system is only available for cars that are not equipped with Ultrasonic sensors. The feature is only available to customers in the United States and Canada, and to drivers who have applied for access to the program. The features that were included in the update were summon, smart summon, auto park, and park assist.

Park Assist seemed to be the easiest to implement, as it is designed to alert drivers of surrounding objects when traveling less than 5 mph. Since Park Assist for vision-only vehicles has been released, it's only a matter of time before it's rolled out to vehicles without Ultrasonic sensors as well.
