Tesla’s autopilot saves Uber driver from crash

Tesla’s autopilot saves Uber driver from crash

The Tesla autopilot is undeniably impressive, but while the company doesn’t recommend people use it ands then just fall asleep, just use the system on motorways and highways – but the system does also kick in when needed in certain circumstances, such as this driver for Uber who has a Tesla Model S. The driver, Jon Hall was driving one rainy evening when a car pulled out in front, without autopilot he would have crashed but the car braked for him. Tesla Autopilot was added to cars just a few weeks ago with a software update, version 7.0. This added support for braking and controlling the engine, this all works to stop collisions like this. The Tesla Model S can also park itself, adjust cruise control for traffic and change headlights from low to high beam.
