The Tesla Sentinel Mode is a feature that allows you to obtain images of the vehicle when it is parked. What if you could also send audio notes?
Tesla is a benchmark in sustainable mobility, there is no doubt about that. For years, improvements to the models offered by the Palo Alto-based manufacturer have managed to differentiate itself from its competition. Currently, the other companies on the market they are copying the market structure of the brand due to their differentiation. Now, is this advantage solely due to its ability to produce electric cars?
The truth is that no. The creation of a new infotainment system completely different from what was present on the market, as well as the provision of a unique autonomous driving system in the market, are some of the differential qualities that make Tesla something much bigger than ‘simple’ car production with batteries and electric motors. The best example of this is shown by the Sentinel Mode.
This system takes advantage of the presence of cameras present in the vehicle to know in what situation it is at all times when it is parked. Through its embedded software package, it offers a number of features that attract attention to offer images in real time about everything that is happening in the vicinity. This option also allows to know if another user has hit the vehicle while performing maneuvers.
The registration of the images can serve as evidence to obtain a repair at the expense of the insurance of that vehicle. Now, did you know that this technology still has additional potential? Among the functions that may have a longer journey, it is worth highlighting the presence of an audio command system. Yes, it is already possible for a company customer to send, in real time, a message through the exterior speakers of their Tesla vehicle.
Let’s see, therefore, how this curious technology works, why it is a very interesting option to avoid vandalism related to the car in question and, above all, to what extent this update of Sentinel Mode function may have more growth in the future. Here are the keys to this novel and curious option.
Sentinel mode and its curious system extension of audio functions
Tesla is a benchmark when it comes to introducing new features in the infotainment system. When it seems that everything has already been invented, some of the functions present in the vehicle are used to achieve an even more refined performance. The last of the updated solutions, the one related to Sentinel Mode, is nothing more than confirmation that Tesla It is not an ordinary car manufacturer, but rather, a company focused on several pillars.

The first thing that should be noted is who can benefit from the new solution proposed by Tesla. As can be read in the specialized portal Electrek, the Tesla 2021.36.8 update is the one that allows access to this curious novelty. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that only cars produced From 2019 they will be able to use the new feature, since the external speaker was decided to incorporate from that year.
As can be seen in the previous images, we are faced with a technology that allows you to send a message in real time, which will be heard by people who are in the vicinity. In addition, with the aim of preserving the anonymity of the people who own the vehicles, it has been decided to incorporate a voice modulator that is very successful.
A technology that attracts attention due to the multiple solutions it offers
Taking into account the large number of services offered by this company, the most logical thing would be to think that in the future they will surprise us with a greater number of practical solutions. After all, synergies at the software level are easier to achieve. Tesla, in this sense, is one of the most prominent companies in the market when it comes to digital innovation.
It is early to know if this proposal has a continuous journey or if, on the contrary, users will not take advantage of these types of additional functions. The same way, It is important to note that this technology could, possibly, have some other complication at the legal level. Be that as it may, the truth is that, for the moment, the availability of this solution in the market continues.
We will have to wait a while to know if it is possible see many more examples related to Sentinel Mode. Taking into account the observed antecedents with the original function, it is most likely that this will be the case in the future.
