Departing from home at model X. As you can see from the video, the driver has not touched the handle at all, he said that he did not operate the accelerator and so on.


Stop once at the intersection where there is no signal.


Model X that runs out fast. Eight cameras are attached to the car body and constantly monitor the surrounding situation.

The hardware Tesla began to install has been updated to detect 360 degrees of field of view and 8 surround cameras shooting the situation up to 250 meters ahead and objects up to twice the distance Twelve ultrasonic sensors etc. And by using forward facing radar (front radar) which adopted state-of-the-art processing technology, it is possible to see torrential rain, fog, dust and car running ahead.


In order to actually use the automatic driving function, it is necessary to update the software of the vehicle body. There seems to be a trade-off with the laws and regulations of each country, but software delivery is scheduled to be started at the end of 2016.

In Tesla, this automatic operation function is equivalent to so-called "fully automatic operation"Level 5"It seems that it is considering taking it to correspond to up to. With regard to automatic driving at this level, development is proceeding with the aim of practical application by the IT giant, Google, existing car makers etc. until 2020. It seems that Tesla is planning to put the automatic driving function into practical use even in 2017, but if the automatic driving is to be put to practical use on the actual public road as planned, Tesla will definitely dominate other companies There is also possibility.

In addition, Tesla Earon mask CEO declared a plan to make it successful from the Los Angeles to New York, that is, the crossing of the Americas by the end of 2017 at the recital at the recital. In the road, drivers do not touch the steering wheel and pedals at all, and it is said that the vehicle is scheduled to automatically even charge the battery.

When fully automatic operation becomes possible, it is expected that Tesla owners will make money by utilizing their cars for car sharing services such as Uber and Lyft. However, Tesla stipulates that such transportation with a fee is possible only when permitted by the "Tesla Network", and it seems that anyone can use it freely.
