Tesla To Roll Out Autonomous Cars Ahead Of Others


Tesla is all set to unveil its autonomous car in the next three months

All other companies like Nissan, Audi etc. which are a pioneer in the automotive sector are trying their best to come up with autonomous cars in which will make their way in a few years time. However, Tesla Motors is far above everybody present on the list of autonomous car makers since they are likely to launch driverless cars in a matter of three months.

According to the chief executive officer of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk stated that the latest software update for Model S is likely to make its way in just a matter of 90 days.

The car is said to have an auto steering ability because of which they will be able to drive themselves on highways. Tesla does not really want to complicate the mechanism at this stage. Therefore, the car will have the potential to run at a predefined speed within a hurdle free lane.

According to reports, these cars are said to be equipped with radars and sonar to make it possible. Moreover, all of these systems will be linked to a GPS system. The company only needs a single software that can make it all happen which is said to be on its way.

Tesla Motors is going pretty optimistic about this venture. However, when asked experts about autonomous cars being legal, they were extremely doubtful about this project.

Tesla at this stage has not really clarified what facilities this car can offer. We only know that the car can drive on its own on highways. However, rest of the abilities still remains unclear.

According to Musk previous report in 2014: “Model S will be able to steer to stay within a lane, change lanes with the simple tap of a turn signal, and manage speed by reading road signs and using active, traffic aware cruise control.”

However, the CEO recently stated: “there’s certainly an expectation that when autopilot on the Model S is enabled, that you’re paying attention.”

Tesla autonomous car is a massive breakthrough in a fairly short period of time, but the issue is that one cannot really predict what will be the result of this venture. New technologies take more time to penetrate among the masses.

Hence in a nutshell, Tesla Motors is taking a fairly bold move to introduce this technology ahead of others since they don’t really know what is in store for them. Moreover, the company might also have to deal with the court of law since it is still not clear whether this technology actually qualifies as legal.
