- Tesla Vision can help airbags deploy up to 70 milliseconds earlier in unavoidable crashes.
- Impact sensors still make the final call on airbag deployment; cameras alone won't deploy them.
- This feature will roll out to existing vehicles through an over-the-air software update.
Tesla vehicles use their cameras for everything from advanced driver assistance and automated driving to replacing parking sensors, and now the manufacturer has found one more use for them. As part of a recent update, the camera array will help the vehicle prepare for a crash and even deploy the airbags sooner when it detects that a collision can’t be avoided.
