But when Tesla autopilot was launched last autumn reactions were different.
The system is said to allow that the car steered itself within a file, changed file with a simply press the turn signal and self-managed the speed using an adaptive cruise control.
of course, tempted many Tesla owners to test the functionality just like that, quite special as it reinforced the image of a manufacturer that was ahead of all other traditional automakers.
But technology is is not yet one hundred percent sure.
When Joshua Brown killed discovered his Tesla Model S is a white trailer that stood crosswise over the road and at the last crash with the Model X in Montana drove the car on wooden poles at the side of the road. The serious follow-up question is: in what other situations, Tesla owners do not trust the technology?
No other manufacturer with technology equivalent to Tesla’s autopilot allows the driver releases his hands from the steering wheel more than 10-15 seconds. Then the system switches off.
It is utformarna and actors in the traffic that must take responsibility for the traffic system is safe. There is no way forward that – as we have done since the beginning of motoring – put all the responsibility on the man, even blaming accidents on the victims. It is an outdated and outmoded ways of looking at it.
Man is imperfect. Humans make mistakes. Humans also do deliberately stupid things.
When the system must – roads and cars – protect from serious consequences.
why should Elon Musk now quickly see that also his cars subject to the same type of “locking” of the autopilot that is, for example, Volvo and Mercedes latest models.
for Tesla is in a critical stage.
the company missed the target for the second quarter and reached just 14,370 cars, against the target of 17,000 cars – and the goal for this year, from 80,000 to 85,000 cars, was challenged immediately.
Therefore reintroduced for a month ago, the basic version of the Model S, with a battery capacity of 60 kWh, and in the week also came the Model X with the same battery capacity. Actually, the battery of 75 kWh, but is limited by the software. If you want to trigger the full capacity costs about 80,000 crowns.
Tesla Model X 60D has a range of 32 mil, coincidentally the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, who has an equally large battery.
the other day the company announced also offer cars that are bought back after three years for a guaranteed price scrapped. It reserved the cost of the program was around $ 13 billion and had also increased by 20 percent just since the end of last year. Obviously it needs the billions squeezed automaker money for other things.
Possibly gave Elon Musk himself a hint of answers in a tweet on Sunday, where it literally standing:
“Working on Top Secret Tesla Master Plan, Part 2. Hoping to publish later this week.”
the world is waiting with excitement at what it can contain.
