![]() ![]() So right away we have technology depicted as a threat to human existence. The musical composition of this scene is called The Blue Danube, which was also the name of Britain’s first nuclear weapon. and another air force type insignia appears on the satellite that is travelling toward a rising sun (possibly French or Bulgarian). a Chinese air force insignia on the satellite in which the shot scrolls up to show the Moon. The other satellites include a German flag alongside what appears to be a black Maltese cross. The very first one, which we cut to from the flying bone shot, has a bone shaped feature at the top, signifying it as a weapon just like the bone. The sequence of satellites orbiting the Earth gives itself away as a representation of space warfare. Now we come to an aspect of 2001 that has been written of extensively in relation to the HAL 9000 computer, but has largely been ignored regarding other aspects of the movie – the concept of humans being trapped or enslaved by their own technology. Here is a video of Sentry Mode’s recording capabilities, captured from one of the Model 3’s cameras.Īnd here’s an extensive review of Sentry Mode from another Tesla Model 3 owner.2001: A Space Odyssey - in-depth analysis - by Rob Ager 2008 As noted by Teslarati after looking through police records of incidents involving Tesla’s electric cars, some of these break-ins, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, have rewarded thieves with generous spoils, such as luxury watches and premium gadgets. The addition of Sentry Mode to Tesla’s security systems is a welcome update for owners, particularly those who were victims of break-ins. It should also be noted that the Model 3 owner’s recent video does not provide an accurate representation of the volume coming from the car’s speakers in the event of a break-in, considering that the vehicle’s windows were fully rolled up. Interestingly, he also noted that the flashing turn signals and horns disengaged after he opened the Tesla app. The Tesla enthusiast later added that the Model 3 flashed its turn signals, activated its horns, and sent a push notification on his Telsa mobile app. In a follow-up post on the r/TeslaMotors subreddit, Model 3 owner u/Spamium noted that he was able to trigger Sentry Mode’s “Alarm” state by pounding on his vehicle’s windows. This, of course, attracts attention to the electric car, and in an ideal scenario, would disorient a thief enough to abandon a break-in attempt. In the event of a break-in, Sentry Mode enters the “Alarm” state, where the vehicle activates its audible alarms, maximizes the brightness of the center screen, and plays music at maximum volume. The words “Recording,” “Sentry Activated” and “Protected by Tesla” also became visible on the display. Immediately, the vehicle’s lights flickered, the center display activated, and HAL 9000’s red eye started blinking on the Model 3’s screen. In the brief clip, Model 3 owner Alex Najera attempted to open the vehicle by pulling on the rear door handle while the electric car was locked. One of the recently posted videos of Sentry Mode in action shows exactly how the “Alert” state works. An image from Model 3 owner and r/TeslaMotors member u/Spamium reveals that the “Alert” state involves the electric car’s center screen displaying visual warnings, including the red “eye” of 2001: A Space Odyssey‘s AI, HAL 9000. ![]() Sentry mode then enters an “Alert” state if the electric car perceives a minimal threat, such as someone leaning against the vehicle. Once activated, the security system enters a “Standby” state, where the vehicles’ external cameras begin recording to monitor and detect potential threats. As could be seen in the recently-shared clips, the new feature taps into the vehicles’ systems and Elon Musk’s love of pop culture to deliver improved security in a very loud and very nerdy way. The first videos of Tesla’s Sentry Mode in action have been shared online. ![]()
