Dolby's premium immersive surround sound will apparently be available soon in Tesla vehicles via an OTA software update.
broke the news that Tesla vehicles will soon be updated to include Dolby Atmos surround sound. Citing an anonymous source, BGR revealed that Tesla has been working to bring the immersive surround sound technology to its cars for several months. According to the report, over a million existing Tesla cars will be eligible for the upgrade. It is expected to be delivered for free over the air at some point in the future. The surround technology will also be built into future Tesla vehicles.
While attempts have been made to bring immersive sound to headphones, so far results have been mixed. Dolby Atmos is most effective when there are dedicated speakers above the listeners so the automotive environment is a good fit for the immersive surround format. And the lack of an internal combustion engine in an EV reduces background noise, allowing the driver and passengers to hear more details in the music.
With Tesla’s inclusion of Tidal in its infotainment system and the upcoming inclusion of Apple Music, the Dolby Atmos upgrade makes sense. Tidal supports Dolby Atmos surround sound in its “Hifi Plus” tier and Apple Music offers thousands of music tracks encoded in Dolby Atmos in its basic subscription. Netflix also supports Dolby Atmos in several TV series and movies. It’s unclear at this time which of the three streaming services will support Dolby Atmos in the Tesla system.
Speakers located in the A pillars of the Tesla Model 3 will enable the height component in a Dolby Atmos mix.
