Tesla is rolling out a new and long-awaited feature to the Cybertruck all-electric pickup, and it is a safety addition geared toward pedestrian and cyclist safety, as well as accidents with other vehicles.<\/p>\n
Tesla has announced the rollout of its innovative anti-dooring protection feature to the Cybertruck via the 2026.8 software update.<\/p>\n
This safety enhancement uses the vehicle\u2019s existing cameras to detect approaching cyclists, pedestrians, or vehicles in the blind spot while parked. Upon attempting to open a door, if a hazard is detected, the system activates: the blind spot indicator light flashes, an audible chime sounds, and the door will not open on the initial button press.<\/p>\n
Drivers must wait briefly and press the button again to override, providing crucial seconds to avoid an accident.<\/p>\n
\nAnti-dooring protection now rolling out to @Cybertruck<\/a><\/p>\n
This feature comes standard on every new Model 3, Model Y & Cybertruck \u2013 using cameras to delay door opening if a cyclist, pedestrian or other vehicle is detected approaching in your blind spot<\/p>\n
