Tesla has been using a lot of movie and video game references as Easter eggs in its vehicles. Several people have been commenting on the resemblance with the turret from the popular Steam video game Portal:

There are new sentry mode icon and the full screen image. The hacker shared the new image that Tesla is going to be using for Sentry Mode:Īnd to bring it out of the comments, MGM has spoken and HAL9000 is forbidden (those pesky IP rights). There are new sentry mode icon and the full screen image.” The shirt features the iconic HAL 9000 eye. “MGM has spoken and HAL9000 is forbidden (those pesky IP rights). This shirt is perfect for any fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey or anyone who just appreciates a good bit of irony.
#Hal 9000 eye update
Now Tesla hacker green, who had access to an upcoming Tesla update in the early access program, reported on Twitter that MGM, who owns the rights to 2001: A Space Odyssey, has issued a copyright claim against Tesla forcing them to stop using the image. The image clearly appears to be inspired by HAL 9000, a fictional AI character in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. When activated, it displayed a red dot on the Tesla’s large center touchscreen: Sentry Mode uses the Autopilot cameras to “detect potential threats” and it goes through different levels of alarms based on those detected “threats.” The feature was released in early 2019 and it was built on top of “TeslaCam,” a previously released integrated dashcam system with similar capability as Sentry mode, but used when someone is inside the car. Sentry Mode is an integrated surveillance system inside Tesla’s vehicles using the Autopilot cameras around the car. 10/10.Tesla apparently got in trouble for using imagery representing HAL 9000 from the movie ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ for Sentry Mode so it is switching to something that now seems inspired by a turret from the video game Portal. Stanley Kubrick is one of the very finest film-makers the world has known, and 2001 his finest accomplishment. I'm glad to see that this film is in the IMDB top 100 films, and only wish that it were even higher. I know that's what most audiences seem to want these days, but Kubrick isn't going to let us off so lightly. There's no neat resolution, no definitive full stop, because then the audience could stop thinking after the final reel.
Kubrick and Clarke have started the task of envisioning it, now it's up to the audience to continue. Yes, the ending is weird and hard to comprehend - but that's the nature of the future. Besides the incredible special effects, camera work and set design, Kubrick also presents the viewer with a lot of food for thought about what it means to be human, and where the human race is going. It is our shame that the year 2001 did not look like the film 2001, not Kubrick's. The film's only notable mistake was the optimism with which it predicted mankind's technological (and social) development. To create such an incredibly detailed vision of the future that 35 years later it is still the best we have is beyond belief - I still can't work out how some of the shots were done. but there it is in 2001, and that's just the start of the journey. Remember that when this film was made, man still hadn't made it out to the moon. The film's greatest strength is in the details. The reason it is slow, and filled with minutae is because the aim was to realistically envision the future of technology (and the past, in the awe inspiring opening scenes).
It was so far ahead of its time that humanity still hasn't caught up. This is the film that put the science in "science fiction", and its depiction of space travel and mankind's future remains unsurpassed to this day. Most viewers are able to see the intelligence and sheer virtuosity that went into the making of this epic. Thankfully, those that cannot appreciate Kubrick's accomplishment are still a minority. Finally I understand why most Hollywood productions are so shallow and vacuous - they understand their audience. For anybody to dismiss 2001: A Space Odyssey as "boring" they must have no interest in science, technology, philosophy, history or the art of film-making. Sometimes reading the user comments on IMDB fills me with despair for the species.
