The news characteristics of Tesla's "autopilot", offer basic autonomous driving functions. The car can change lanes, follow other cars and react to problems. But is it so?
The above features sound very appealing, but Tesla stressed that "the driver is still responsible and must be in control of the car."
"Autopilot" is supposed to be usable with your hands on the wheel. But let's look at the following video:
In the video, you will see the driver moving at high speed with his hands away from the wheel. The car alarm sounds beating to take control as the vehicle starts to go to the left.
The video shows the driver saves the situation with a jerky move on the steering wheel.
There are countless such videos, with reckless drivers filming themselves, keeping their hands off the wheel, trying to prove how cool Tesla's "autopilot" is.
Do not make the same mistake if you own Tesla. The mistake can only happen once, but cost lives.
Of course, apart from the driver's responsibility, we should also mention Tesla's responsibility. The Department marketing of companys saw fit to market the feature as “autopilot” rather than refer to it as “assistive technology.”
So anyone who sees the video below will think that with the new Tesla Model S will not have to drive anymore
