[00:00:00]With being able to utilize a new capability of Tesla Vision supplementing our existing restraint system. So the way the system works is we've got cameras around the vehicle. So if we had a car accident where two vehicles are coming towards each other, [music] the camera in the Tesla is watching that vehicle and can identify exactly when contact's going to be made and how severe the crash will be. That information is then passed through to the airbag controller. By passing that information across, we can rely on the impact sensors here, here, and here on this vehicle. We're still using impact sensors to detect [music] crashes. We're just supplementing our decisions by using information from the vision system.

[00:00:37]So this is going to roll out as a software update to existing vehicles.

[00:00:40]Tesla customers will wake up tomorrow morning, get a software update, and they'll have this new feature that makes [music] their car significantly safer.
