The new graphics and animations do make a difference as the vehicle now shows details like vehicles' brake lights coming on in front of users or car doors being opened.

The system also handles showing bicyclists and pedestrians differently now too, and the system is better able to tell if a vehicle is parked or just in traffic, reports InsideEVs.
