Ultrasonic sensor misdetection #20

Open penguian opened 1 year ago

penguian commented 1 year ago

The front ultrasonic sensors sometimes detect an obstacle when nothing is there.

I just had my car serviced on 2023-07-18. This is not a software problem. It is caused by the sensors being covered by paint protection film. Any air gaps or bubbles cause spurious reflections.

Specs: Model 3 Standard Range Plus Rear-Wheel Drive, Autopilot, Full Self-Driving Capability Version: 2023.26.7 Location: Zelling Street northbound at intersection with Federal Highway. Comment: Reopened since this issue has occurred more frequently after a software update. Front left hand ultrasonic sensor indicates an object at 40 cm when there is nothing there but painted markings on the road. { "timestamp":"2023-08-11T17:56:14", "city":"Watson", "est_lat":"-35.2261", "est_lon":"149.161", "reason":"user_interaction_dashcam_launcher_action_tapped", "camera":"0" }
