Tesla may finally be addressing a huge child safety concern in America. The “Child Left Alone Detection” feature has been sitting in the code of Tesla models for almost a year, and is designed to save children from being left in hot cars. According to reports, Tesla has been working on this problem for several years, and its solution is, according to Teslarati, “an ultrawave sensor that would detect heartbeats instead of movement.” While many cars have backseat reminders based on sensors in the seats and seatbelts, the release notes for the update say that both the car and the Tesla app will notify the owner.
