Tesla App Code Shows Cabin Camera Will Verify Driver Before Activating Full Self-Driving

A recent analysis of Tesla's mobile app code uncovered new functionality. The code reveals that a cabin‑facing camera will be activated. The camera is intended to verify the driver’s identity. Verification must occur before the Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system can be engaged. Tesla has not publicly detailed this driver‑check feature. The change suggests a tighter safety protocol for autonomous driving. Experts say the measure could address regulatory concerns. The rollout timing and impact on current owners remain unclear.
