Tesla will release a full autopilot 3-6 months Bashny.Net

American manufacturer of electric cars Tesla Motors, intends to produce the car with a full autopilot in the range from 3 to 6 months. This statement was made by CEO Elon Musk, answering questions on his Twitter page.

"Maybe three months, six months exactly," said Musk, responding to a question Tom Randall about how will soon appear on 100% self-driving electric car.





Tesla plans to gradually upgrade the software and the equipment of their vehicles, so each new model will have more functionality than the previous one. Last week the company released an updated Autopilot system Enhanced ("Enhanced autopilot"). It will be updated regularly, and by the end of 2017, the electric car will have a full autopilot.

All Tesla cars that come out the end of last year, equipped with the hardware necessary for Autonomous driving. However, the first time a piece of equipment will be in sleep mode. In Enhanced mode Autopilot car only uses 4 of the 8 cameras. When you activate Full Self-Driving electric car Capability will start to use all the cameras and radar and ultrasonic sensor with 360 degrees. "The car will be able to move in almost any conditions and security, according to our estimates, a doubling compared to the average driver," according to the website Tesla.

As explained in the statement, the new system is, in particular, "eight cameras, providing a 360-degree angle around the vehicle at a distance of 250 meters," and "12 advanced ultrasonic sensors", which "allow you to notice the hard and soft objects at a distance almost two times more than before." In addition, Tesla cars will be equipped with radar with advanced data processing.





At the moment the technology is not designed to work without human intervention. She can adjust the course of the vehicle or to use the brakes, but the driver should keep hands on the wheel and be ready to take it over. At this stage the US regulatory authorities do not permit the operation of vehicles in the mode of fully automatic driving, without the driver. Will there ever be is allowed, is not yet known.

We will remind, recently the US authorities have completed the investigation of a fatal accident involving a driver of a Tesla Model S that occurred in the spring of last year. According to experts, the system auto-pilot Tesla was not the cause of the collision. Moreover, the use of unmanned functionality of the Tesla allows to reduce by 40% the number of accidents on the roads. published
