A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/products\/raspberry-pi-4-model-b\/\">Raspberry Pi 4<\/a> is the brains of his automatic Tesla charger, which is mounted to the wall of his garage. A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/products\/camera-module-v2\/\">Pi Camera Module<\/a> allows the system to guide its hydraulic carriage (and by extension, the charger) into his Tesla\u2019s charging port automatically. It ain\u2019t quick, but it gets the job done.<\/p>\n<p>While Pat\u2019s video doesn\u2019t go into super-duper crazy detail, he does mention that the charger\u2019s carriage uses an ultrasonic distance sensor to make sure that it doesn\u2019t scuff up his car. To make coding the machine less tedious, Pat used the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tensorflow.org\/lite\">TensorFlow Lite<\/a> deep learning framework to develop a machine learning algorithm for the system.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully Pat takes the time to explain his build process in a future video. In the meantime, EV owners are stuck charging their car by hand.
