"However, there are instances where kids are left in vehicles and lose their lives, something that many companies have tried to fight with alerts and features of their own. Tesla is one of them, as it has rolled out features like ultrasonic sensors to detect heartbeats, interior cameras to detect movement, and alerts to notify parents if they leave someone in the car."
"On average, 37 children die every year from being left in vehicles unattended. One of the most preventable causes of death for children is being left in cars unattended. On average, 37 children die every year after being left in hot vehicles. The cause of death is usually heatstroke, and it is incredibly avoidable.

An average of 37 children die annually after being left unattended in vehicles, usually from heatstroke, a largely preventable cause of death. Tesla is deploying a 'Child Left Alone Detection' feature in the European market as part of software version 2025.32.6. The system detects unattended children using cabin sensors and cameras and issues multiple alerts: flashing exterior indicator lights, an alert tone, and notifications sent to the Tesla app. Cabin data is processed locally and not transmitted to Tesla. The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled via Controls > Safety > Child Left Alone Detection. The rollout aims to reduce fatalities from children left in cars.
