Tesla is expanding its safety toolkit in Europe. With software update 2025.32.6, the Child Left Alone Detection system—previously limited to the U.S.—is now rolling out across the region.According to Tesla, an average of 37 children die each year from heatstroke after being left in closed vehicles. The new feature uses ultrasonic sensors and in-cabin cameras to detect movement and even a heartbeat. If a child is left inside unattended, the car triggers exterior light signals, sounds an audible alert, and sends a notification to the Tesla app. These prompts continue until the owner returns. Data is processed on the vehicle itself, with nothing transmitted to company servers—a detail that should calm concerns about in-cabin monitoring.The Child Left Alone Detection system may prove a meaningful draw for shoppers eyeing 2025 models with safety top of mind. The feature is enabled by default, and it can be switched off in the Safety menu if needed. Sensible defaults matter, and this one encourages owners to keep a potentially life-saving tool active.
