Tesla AP refers to the Autopilot feature of Tesla vehicles. The Tesla AP function is an advanced driver-assistance system. To activate AP, the driver must first pull down the gear lever to enable ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control). After activation, when the system detects lane markings, pulling down the gear lever twice consecutively will engage AP. Once AP is activated, both the lane markings and the steering wheel icon on the left will turn blue. Tesla's AP stands for Autopilot. Before engaging AP, the vehicle requires the driver to pull down the gear lever to activate ACC. Following this, when the system recognizes lane markings, pulling down twice more will enable the AP function. The Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has already achieved Level 2 automation, with some features reaching Level 3. Its visual range extends up to 360 degrees, with environmental detection capabilities reaching as far as 250 meters. Additionally, it utilizes 12 ultrasonic sensors to complement the machine vision system, providing guidance during parking. Unlike FSD, fully autonomous driving requires no driver intervention and can achieve complete self-driving. FSD allows the owner to simply activate the function via the key fob, after which the car will autonomously drive to the owner's location.

What is the Scrap Life of Private Cars?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-operational small and mini vehicles, there is no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Operational vehicles have scrap life limits, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 12 years. Bus passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 13 years, other small and mini operational passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large and medium operational passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 15 years. Mini operational trucks have a scrap life of 8 years, light and large operational trucks have a scrap life of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out a copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap life. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap life, if they are confirmed by the motor vehicle inspection office to meet the vehicle scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". After verifying the "Notice", the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Updated Vehicle Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be recycled, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the place of registration, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If an operational vehicle is converted to a non-operational vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original operational vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation registration of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What to Do When the Car's Interior Rearview Mirror Becomes Loose?

If the looseness occurs at the fixing point with the windshield, applying some glue can solve the problem. Below are the solutions for a loose interior rearview mirror: 1. If the interior rearview mirror is loose, it is usually caused by hanging a dashcam or some heavy decorations on the mirror. The solution is simple: if the looseness is at the fixing point with the windshield, apply some glue; if the ball joint of the mirror is loose, tighten the screw. 2. Most car rearview mirrors have an adjustable tension screw at the ball joint, allowing you to adjust the tightness of the mirror. If the mirror becomes loose, locate this screw and tighten it.

What Causes the Front Parking Sensors to Keep Beeping When There Are No Obstacles?

The reasons why front parking sensors keep beeping when there are no obstacles: 1. The sensor mounting hole is too small or too tight, or installed on an iron or hard bumper; 2. Paint sprayed on the sensor surface, or attachments like snow or ice blocks; 3. Poor sensor characteristics, with the working environment temperature being too low; 4. Sensor malfunction. The full name of the parking sensor is reverse parking collision avoidance radar, also known as a parking assist device. It is a safety assist device for car parking or reversing, consisting of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. It can inform the driver of surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, helping to eliminate blind spots and unclear vision, thereby improving driving safety.
