The patent, titled “Environmental Condition Management in Indoor Spaces,” was noticed by media journalists. According to the authors, the patent describes the operating principle of an automated disinfection system that will appear in Tesla’s robotic taxi. Earlier, the company’s head, Elon Musk, promised to present the robotaxi project on August 8.
The published document describes in detail how the car interior can be disinfected. Information about pollution in the car will be collected by acoustic, thermal, radio frequency sensors, as well as a camera, pressure sensors, temperature and other electronics. Ultraviolet lamps can also be used to clean the interior.
The patent indirectly mentions that the invention will be used in autonomous transport designed to carry passengers. Thus, the document states that public transport has advantages in terms of cost, efficiency and environmental sustainability over an individual car, but at the same time contributes to the spread of infectious diseases through polluted air or surfaces.
