Tesla Ideas Safety

The new wireless charging points are a great convenience. But it makes it easier to accidentally leave your phone in the car as you leave. The car should detect that the phone used to open the car is still inside the car as the driver exits the vehicle and use the external speaker to remind them of this.

I own a 2019 Model 3 and installed the Tesla roof rack.  I frequently put my bike on the rack.  I would love the ability to have my car remind me that a bike is on top when I approach my garage so I don't accidentally drive into it.  You would manually enable Bike-on-roof Mode.  As you approached your home the dash would alert you to remember not to drive into the garage.

Tail lights should tell the drivers behind more than just braking, turning and the headlamps are on....

Add a new tail light section ( or incorporate with the existing tail light section ) that indicates:

 

Green - the vehicle is accelerating

Yellow - the vehicle is deaccelerating

Red - the vehicle is braking

- When AutoPilot is not activated, and turn signal is activated make a chime or sound play to alert driver to someone existing in blind spot. Similar to the mirror light blind spot functions other cars have. Instead of just a last second avoidance feature or visual on the screen which is not very safe to be looking at whilst driving.
- Could make another kind of "clicking" sound to passively let the driver know someone... more »

It would be very desirable that the video recording when honking the horn put the GPS position as the file name. To make a report of a serious traffic violation it is extremely interesting to be able to send the video recordings but you also have to provide the exact place where the violation occurs and it would be perfect if the name of the file included the GPS position, at least in the case of recordings saved when... more »

Tesla should enable Face ID and Touch ID for so no one can drive the car away if they are not the registered driver of that specific car. In the event of a theft the thief even if they break in they cannot drive the car away.

It makes no sense that you have auto high beam turned on in the Lights control screen and also have to actively ensure that the left stalk is pressed forward to make sure it is ready to work as intended: automatically!

Every time I pull the left stalk towards me to manually flash my high beams, the auto high beam setting is disabled.

Drivers should be able to override the light sensor at any time - or manually put on... more »

CASF system is  based on 3 rails which 2 of them are located over car door and one of them on the floor between seats.each one of 2 end of seat-belt is connected to the slippery piece that are located inside door rails and middle of it(seat-belt locker)is connected a slippery piece on floor rail.

after closing the car door by user, slippery pieces will be slipped to the aft side of rails by small electro-motor and will... more »

1. Right now reviewing sentry mode is so slow. For faster reviewing: Show 4-8 pictures of what triggered the recording. When you press on a picture it rewinds to 2 second before the trigger and starts the video there. 

2. Even if sentry mode is off, if the car is bumped on moved. It should trigger a camera or video. 

3. Add a map overlay so you know exactly where the event happened.

A few competing vehicles show a bird's eye view of the car when backing up. Its a great way to improve safety and increase awareness when in reverse.

 

Note: this is different thank showing the side and rear cameras.

Ability to turn off rear sensors if carrying bikes on a hitch mounted rear bike rack.

Develop a child/ pet safety alarm for children or pets left in cars unattended. This should be a sound alarm and phone call to customers and local emergency response services when sound or movement is detected inside a locked/ closed vehicle.

In addition to tilting the rear mirrors down when backing up, it would be helpful to show the side cameras when backing up on the display. Especially since the S/X is so wide, its helpful to see the curb when parking.

The idea would be to have the speed your car is traveling to be overlaid on the dashcam footage. This would be helpful for using dashcam footage for insurance footage or for disputing speeding tickets.

It would be nice if there was a way to communicate with other drivers in a less one-dimensional way by having a "friendly" horn sound option. A really good example is this video:
