Tesla had 11 patents in future of work during Q2 2024. The patent filed by Tesla Inc in Q2 2024 relates to systems and methods for configuring and managing heater elements associated with sensor components in vehicles. The control component of the heater element uses various inputs related to the vehicle’s operation to specify operational parameters, such as a lookup table, without relying on specific temperature or condition sensors. These parameters are chosen to prevent the build-up of frozen precipitation on the vehicle near the sensor components and to avoid damage from prolonged heater element operation.

Application: Managing heating element operational parameters (Patent ID: US20240163973A1)
The patent filed by Tesla Inc. describes systems and methods for configuring and managing heater elements associated with sensor components in a vehicle. The control component of the system obtains inputs related to the vehicle's operation, such as location and status of components, to specify operational parameters for the heater element. These parameters are selected to prevent the build-up of frozen precipitation on the vehicle and avoid damage from prolonged heater operation. The system uses lookup tables to map inputs to operational parameters and can conduct error checking, threshold comparison, conflict resolution, and normalization.
The system can process inputs related to operational error rates, rates of change in parameters, resource consumption, vehicle speed, external temperature, windshield wiper status, radar components, vision systems, and location systems. The heater elements consist of parallel elements operating near vehicle components, with the ability to select different operational parameters based on the evaluation of inputs. The method involves obtaining inputs from sensors, identifying operational parameters using lookup tables, evaluating inputs to select parameters, and transmitting control signals for the heater element operation. Additionally, the method allows for the selection of lookup tables, evaluation of multiple inputs, and consideration of energy level and duration in determining operational parameters for the heater element.
