Tesla's new "autopilot" features 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."
The "autopilot" is supposed to be used with your hands on the wheel. But let's watch the following video:
In the video, you will see the driver moving with great speed with his hands off the steering wheel. The car alarm starts going off to take over as the vehicle has started to drift 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 marketing department of the company considered it good to promote the feature as "autopilot" instead of referring to it as "supporting technology."
So anyone who sees the video below will think that with the new Tesla Model S will not have to drive anymore
