At the moment on the roads is about 70 000 cars of the American brand with the autopilot feature.
The Tesla cars are equipped with systems of Autonomous control, we drove on autopilot to 160 million kilometers. These data at the conference EmTech Digital in San Francisco led by Director of development of the systems of Autonomous control of the automaker Stirling Anderson.
According to a top Manager in the day Tesla electric car company pass through four million kilometres with activated autopilot. Thus, each of the seventy thousand of cars with systems of Autonomous control drove almost 60 miles per day without driver intervention.
“The autopilot should only be used when the driver is still involved in the process of driving and used all his abilities on machines without the autopilot. You must say to yourself: “I should be ready to deal with the situation with which the machine will not be able to handle yourself”,” said Anderson.
Autonomous driving appeared in the “Tesla” with a new version of software for on-Board electronics for electric cars in October last year. The autopilot allows the company to keep the car in the occupied zone, to change speed, change lanes when the driver turns the turn signal, as well as to search for a free Parking space and occupy it.
After the release of the new version AT Tesla, said that the whole responsibility for what is happening on the road still lies with the person who sits behind the wheel. The Internet has appeared a video, in which autopilots made mistakes. However, in late may, the Network got the video, which shows that the driver Model S is asleep at the wheel while driving the car.
