All produced by the end of October Tesla electric vehicles equipped with a complete set of sensors necessary for the implementation of automatic control functions with minimal need for driver intervention. Tesla Motors company promised to improve the control software by the end of this year, offering one of the most advanced and early versions of autopilot. All necessary equipment is already installed on the machine since last October, with many of the functions of driver assistance fresh electric Tesla began to take only recently because they had to "re-learn", whereas the first-generation car all it could already earlier.
Tesla Motors is known for its desire to limit the functionality of the electric software. The same set of driver assistance systems can activate the software after the additional payment, the same option will cost a little bit cheaper than after a period of operation of the machine. In some cases, you can even increase the available capacity of the traction battery, or save , abandoning excessive power reserve. Some features require hardware changes .
Website Electrek explains that the number of sensors used in automation varies depending on the willingness of the driver's electric Tesla pay for the level of management autonomy. Systems Group Enhanced Autopilot, which in practice does not always allow the electric vehicle to move without human intervention, in the electric Tesla new generation is based on the use of only four from eight cameras. To be able to use all eight cameras, you need to pay extra for the option "Full Self-Driving Capability", which will be finalized by the end of this year. By the way, Elon Musk has recently admitted that the significant differences between the two levels of autonomy will be achieved within three to six months.
Tesla Motors believes that the set of functions Full Self-Driving Capability will make the electric cars of the brand safe enough - reduce the risk of equipment failure approximately half compared to the average driver.
