This is a new mode as part of the autonomous driving feature that Tesla has only released to a small number of owners with several new abilities.

A famous Tesla hacker has uncovered the Autopilot Augmented Vision through his Twitter account under the name ‘green.’ This is a new mode as part of the autonomous driving feature of the company.

In his tweet, the hacker indicated how the AR vision helps the driver see what their vehicle sees in real-time. The post includes a video of over 5 minutes of his Tesla car in the AR vision mode, showing exactly what the autopilot car can see.

According to the hacker, there are tons of dead codes in the Full Self-Driving beta, he also saw some interesting names like coast2coast as well as map selection. Tesla released this beta to a small group of owners back in October, letting them test the feature.

However, green found that the beta comes with only a handful of features that he has uncovered. Some of them haven’t been released such as California Boost, California Stop, and Chiropractor Adjust Skeleton, all of which have yet to be fully explained or may not even be rolled out.

If things go according to the plan, Tesla will release the FSD beta on a wider scale by year-end.

green's tweet includes this image, which illustrates the AR view, along with a caption that says:

"Perfect "stop line" detection I must say, only 31% probability of indoors though which is a bit of a bummer.) Interesting that A/B nodes vision fps is different (both far from 36fps nominal though!"
