Tesla is revamping its “Sentry Mode” security camera feature in an upcoming software update, and perhaps the most notable change is that the company will no longer use the HAL 9000 graphic from 2001: A Space Odyssey <\/em>when the mode is active, according to screenshots taken by some owners with early access. Instead, as Electrek<\/em> points out, the cars’ dashboard screens will now show something that looks more like the central light on the turrets from Valve’s popular puzzle game Portal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Originally rolled out in 2019, Sentry Mode takes the external cameras that help power Tesla’s Autopilot driver assistance system and turns them into one sort of all-seeing security camera. The screen flashes the HAL 9000 graphic to warn anyone with thoughts of doing damage or breaking in, and owners are constantly posting footage of people who ignore that warning. In a number of cases, Sentry Mode footage has led to fines and arrests.<\/p>\n

And to bring it out of the comments, MGM has spoken and HAL9000 is forbidden (those pesky IP rights). There are new sentry mode icon and the full screen image.<\/p>\n
