My commute home with Tesla AutoPilot in the SNOW! With a new enhancement to Autopilot v7.1, it works great in the snow, but it should come with a warning!!
better hope the car in front of you doesn't drive into the ditch!!
+farazag10 That's what I'm saying. If the car in front drives off of a cliff and you aren't paying attention.... Love this car. Want one...
+Stardust Dream Factory Too bad you'll never be able to afford one.
+LiveTrash Wow jerk
+edawg792 LOL Live_Trash cannot afford one either, that is why he is so salty.
+farazag10 That's why the car comes with a steering wheel, so it won't matter.
Thanks for wasting our time. Could've made your point in a less than two minute video.
+My Action Videos He must not have anyone else to talk to.
That's sad. On Valentine's day. Why you do dis?
+Jbauer94 it's not January.
+Jbauer94 sorry. I watched it in February.
+My Action Videos Thanks for wasting my time by posting this comment, now im dumber cause it.
since there was a car to your left when the truck switched lanes, doesn't the radar see that car and wait till it's clear to move over??
I don't believe the car has radar on the sides.
+Ricco831 The Model S has 360 sonar that can see up to about 16ft on any given side
+Daniel Mcmorrow Yea, at 6:30 you can see the Tesla detect the other car (on the HUD)
since it has side detection, try again to see if it would have figured something out and only take over if collision is certain.
You may also want to skip all the slow speech leading up to the relevant part.
+Ricco831 you clearly know nothing about the 80k+ car you've bought. Just proves doesn't buy brain.
If u can afford a tesla. why not reduce your commute 1st. priorities are fucked up
Idiot! I wouldn't need a Tesla if I didn't have a commute.
Ricco831 in a month u spend 40 hrs of unpaid work (driving). That is a whole week of unpaid work.
If I may,now who's the idiot?
+TheHumbled what I do for a living isn't a job, it's fun! No other company can offer me that. So technically I haven't worked a day in my life! And I get to drive a Tesla on top of that.
+Ricco831 well, that'll shut him up... haha I love it!
Ricco831 loyalties like that 4 companies will result in individuals going postal the day they let u go.
Anyways, good 4 u.
You bought a $70k car for the "gas savings" ?!
+Alberto Klocker If his previous car was also around the same price, then yes, it does makes sense.
depreciation says otherwise.
I wouldn't do it for gas savings alone but that is usually at least around $5000 savings over 5 years
+Alberto Klocker It might be 70k MSRP but after continuous tax breaks and gas saving you're making your money back from it.
I was more making the point that if you buy a Tesla "savings" isn't at the top of your list of reasons :)
What if everyone has a tesla. No one can follow anybody
+TheBackwasher he didn't get the joke @1lann
+TheBackwasher
Better hope the person in front is a good driver.
+TheBackwasher If everyone had a tesla i think nearly every driveway would have special infrared markins or some shit that tesla can see installed. Then release an update.
+TheBackwasher If every one had a Tesla. I'll be rich. lolz
+TheBackwasher
technically speaking, an arbitrary number of teslas can follow eachother as long as one person is leading the proverbial convoy
by the time this becomes an issue, autopilot systems will be more than advanced enough to figure out what to do anyway and following another car won't be necessary
Hey here's an idea: Don't use auto pilot in bad road conditions like the user manual says! Works wonders for my family!
+Gary Gates If you are ready to take over with no notice and you literally have your hands on the wheel, it's an extra level of safety, not a hazard. It's still possible to get distracted and have autopilot increase safety.
Gary Gates if that's the case then just you adaptive cruise control, it's not much different
it was following only 2-3 seconds behind the tractor trailer at over 50mph in bad conditions, thats unsafe driving right there.
+Van Litespeed In the autopilot mode, you can change how many car lengths you want between your car and the one infront.
+Van Litespeed It's hard to count seconds when the video isn't in real time, but a driver has the option of setting any following distance he wants. It's not autopilot that makes somebody keep a shorter following distance. Most people who fail to keep a safe following distance don't have autopilot.
It's best to keep a safe following distance no matter what, but the three second rule also factors in reaction time of about a second. The car doesn't need that, so a three second following distance is about as safe as a four second following distance. The car can react instantly, and the truck will have a much longer stopping distance, so the chances of hitting the truck will be minimal. The problem comes when a car gets rear ended because it needs to stop too fast, so relying on autopilot as an excuse to drive too closely is a bad idea.
But that's all academic because I can't tell from the video what the following distance was.
The video was sped up you idiot
+crosswire7777, you're the idiot. The speed is displayed on the dash. lol
***** Based on driver response times, then a two second following distance would be appropriate. The car could handle things even closer than that of course, but a two second following distance wouldn't alter the amount of time the person behind the Tesla had to stop, and avoiding being rear ended is always good.
Also the fact that it's a tractor trailer is a consideration, but the comment had it backwards. A large truck has a longer stopping distance, and would end up coming to a complete stop from 50 mph several car lengths later than something like a Tesla. So if they both slammed on their brakes at the same time, there would be no collision. On the other hand, being tailgated by a truck is another story.
Tailgating a tractor trailer with a different car carries risks for a different reason. A driver has less time to react when he can't see the road ahead. The car has no such concern.
I still don't know what happens in the snow, because I fell asleep 15 seconds into the video.
Lol that actually is really funny!
That's not a tractor. A john Deere is a tractor. That is just a truck.
I'm going to install electronic signal jammers in the rear of my car. You don't get to leech off of my hard work.
+Walter Black Unless you've got a fully manual car with no computers on board, you will jam yourself. You decide...
Ivan Avila Maybe he drives a carboard box on top of a skateboard
+Walter Black Good luck buying a "radar jammer". Or good luck making one.
+Walter Black Pretty sure its optical using two cameras to do the following so jammers won't work. You can try turning off the taillights.
+sunnyjason Well, parking sensors are ultrasonic, just like the Tesla proximity detectors. Blasting the Tesla behind you should be easy, given the correct frequency.
Let me save you six minutes. TL:DR If you don't follow the instructions, you'll fuckin crash. You're welcome.
Good to know. This is the first reporting of this for me. Thank you.
A simple fix should do- their software detects brakelights (as opposed to tail-lights or no lights) so they should make it capable of detecting a blinker and (if it's relying on the vehicle instead of lane markings) disable auto-pilot automatically.
+Adam Rath Some systems do. For example, Subaru uses stereo cameras that detect brake lights among other things. It can use that to detect both the lights and the distance. I have no idea whether Tesla incorporates that into their algorithms, but I can assume that they are well aware of what the rest of the industry does and have engineers working on every aspect of it. Disabling autopilot isn't the answer though. But the car will do exactly that in certain circumstances, flash a message in red that the driver must take control immediately, with loud beeps, and the driver will get that before the car loses ability to judge.
Still, if the car can see somebody signalling, so can the driver, who should act accordingly. In most cases the lane markings would tell the car what to do, and locking on a specific vehicle was happening in low speeds.
The car manual warns you not even to use autopilot in heavy rain, let alone snow. You not reading the manual doesn't mean that Tesla never provided this warning. Otherwise, I think it was a neat video showing how far the AP limits can actually be pushed in crappy weather which is pretty awesome.
Dude, get the mic away from your mouth. Also, cut to the chase... :P No need for a 6 min video of this.
Nice display of Autopilot features. Typically, I would not use Autopilot in any situation where I would not normally use Cruise Control. Impressive that the car is as capable as it is, thus far... But with heavy traffic, rain, and also snow, I would never use Cruise Control. So, I would not have engaged Autopilot either. Really cool to know that it makes your commute that much better for you, regardless of conditions.
how about: Don't be an idiot and engage autopilot during adverse conditions.
Now this is the correct way to use this technology. Let the computer do the mundane tasks of speed and steering but be ready to step in and take control when something goes wrong.
It's not perfect, but it's a massive step forward in car technology.
Not having to put full concentration on the road is so more relaxing than to fully be aware of your cars position and always correcting that position. Studies show less mental stress actually relaxes the body. To correct for the lane marker technology all you need is metallic lane markers to be in bedded into the surface. Magnetic sensors could read the markers at a 100 ft or more. Further more the identification of the marker could warn on board system of potential hazards like curve ahead ..or stop ahead or a myriad of other road hazards could be identified by the shape or size of the marker.

+stili774 TITLE TEXT HERE!!!
people like this are gonna ruin it for everyone. youre not even supposed to use normal cruise control in bad weather conditions, even with no traffic, let alone experimental autopilot. companies should not have to warn you to use common sense, that should have been part of getting your license in the first place. (or just growing up?)
Welcome to the Quiet Storm with your DJ, this guy!
Fantastic report! I have a Model X90D and have been using autopilot for the last few weeks since I got the car. I noticed that the autopilot also has blind spots. The radar awareness is not continuous but appears to occur at a discrete frequency. I haven't measured it, but it is between 1 to 10 Hz. The vehicle uses its ultrasonic sensors to see side-wards. There are a pair of circular ultrasonic sensors on the left and right sides of the front bumper and another pair on the left and right sides of the rear bumper. It uses only these sensors to do autopilot and not the sensor buried in the rear doors (used for the falcon wing door opening). I have had a couple of cases where I tried to change lanes on autopilot and the car actually attacked another car in the lane it was going to go to - this is because that lane was initially clear but another car was going at high speed and passed me. If the speed of that bogey is very high it may be detected by the rear sensor but due to the slow refresh rate, it may not be detected by the front sensor. The car thinks there is no traffic in the other lane and try to cut into that lane. The vehicle also despite recognizing a motorcycle, doesn't give a longer following distance to it relative to a car or truck (what I would do if I was manually driving the car). It also doesn't recognize an idiot driving a pickup truck with stuff sticking out sideways that could intrude into your lane. So, yes autopilot is awesome and makes my 100 mile a day commute pleasant, but still remember that you are the pilot and despite it being on autopilot be ready to grab the steering/hit the brakes or whatever to take control at a moments notice. The system isn't perfect. It is still a Beta. But, after driving this in autopilot for the last couple of weeks, I can't go back to my ICE Lexus. Highly addictive. Highly recommended, but take common sense precautions. They aren't kidding (or saying this only for the lawyers) when Tesla wants your hands to be on the steering wheel. You are their test pilot. Have fun.
If you look at 6:33 (dashboard shows a quarter circle showing something on the left side of the car) you can clearly see the Tesla did see the car on the left and was not going to make that turn. User error in the end. This is why we need this in all cars now! Good job Tesla...flawless system.
Dang you are brave testing this behind a large tanker. This is amazing technology.
Did you record the voice over while you were taking a dump?
The future right now. Tesla is doing something special with their Autopilot programming.
You can see in the video the car has radar, or distance measurement between it and other solids, every now and then it shows a span near the right or left rear passenger door sides, that's the scan taking place. It should do that scan each time it detects a turn too.
How can anybody call that a gimmick? That is outstanding! Thanks for making this video!
You are a braver man than I. I'm all for auto steer, I'd never let autopilot drive in snow, I don't feel enough research has been done for that yet.
I like to test t and push it to the limit.
That was really cool. I didn't even think about the other vehicle changing lanes.
Common sense that you cannot trust a new technology in a snow storm?
Okay, but like, there's a reason why you still need a driver's license. You should still be monitoring your car to ensure it's driving safely and accordingly with traffic. The tech is obviously still new in the car industry, so you simply disengage the the autopilot feature as most manufacturers recommend during snow and rain.
It probably wouldn't complete the lane change since it would detect the car next to you. But better to take over just in case.
Many cars already have features that are available close to the Tesla Model S. I own a 2014 Chevy Impala 1LT (Not the fleet version that's been around awhile) and it has a decent amount of the features that the Tesla has, minus the autopilot of course. It detects vehicles in the same lane as me and has collision alert, where if the vehicle in front of me is close enough and starts braking, and I don't brake, the Impala will flash a red light and start braking for me. It also has blind spot detection, that detects all vehicles and motorcycles; it has lane departure, which warns me when I'm crossing into another lane (it doesn't warn me when I'm using my blinker to change lanes), so it can see the lane lines (unless they're covered by snow). It also has a feature called Stabilitrak that helps with vehicle stability, especially in emergency maneuvers (i.e. trying to recover from fish tailing).
My point is that my car cost about $40K less than the Tesla, and still has some pretty cool and helpful safety features. I still drive as though I don't have them so I don't rely on them, but they definitely help me with being a safer driver. I wouldn't be surprised if these safety features become standard in the next 5-10 years and autopilot becomes something that's available/optional.
OK, I'm getting it. Wherever possible Autopilot will use lane markings. When lanes are not available, or visible, it is now able to "follow" the vehicle in front (vehicle icon in dashboard turns blue). If I understand you, you are saying that if Autopilot is in "Follow" mode, then if the vehicle being followed changes lane, the Tesla will continue to follow it, and that people should be warned it will do this. OK, I guess there may be people who won't have worked this out. Very helpful to know that when the van image changes to blue, it is in follow mode.
So i guess if the tractor trailer goes off the road you basically go with him when no lane markers are visible?
+CSIG1001 If you take your hands off the wheel yes. but I am pretty sure Tesla says to not do that and to still keep your full attention on the road.
+Woo 991 Even if you take your hands off the wheel, you would put them back on the wheel if you are paying attention. If you are paying attention and the driver in front of you isn't, you are better off with autopilot. If you aren't paying attention and the driver ahead of you is paying attention, that's not excusable but you'd be better off with autopilot. If neither of you is paying attention and you both go off the road, you might have killed yourself anyway without autopilot.
The arguments against autopilot make less sense than arguments against cruise control, but modern cruise control has been around for almost 60 years and nobody here is calling it dangerous or saying not to use it. As long as you can take over control and you are paying attention, any feature that can keep you from doing something wrong could be a benefit.
bW9taeH4 I honestly trust these auto pilot modes. however I would rather keep my own hands on the wheel because thats what the developers suggest.
I am a huge supporter of these auto pilot features but i also think its smart to listen to Tesla when they say its not safe to take your hands off the wheel.
I drove a Tesla with auto-pilot for the first time (a P90DL!!!) just a few days ago when they gave me one as a loaner. I LOVE it. But as you say, there are issues with it.
I don't like that the autopilot feature isn't better highlighted. I think there should be big flashing words that tell you when it's on. I've had a few situations where I had cruise control enabled and I thought that auto-pilot was on. I was holding on to the wheel so nothing happened, but I don't think should be confused about 'who is driving'.
Second, it doesn't seem to see traffic lights. I tested this on a suburban street and the car was ready to blow through a red light without my intervention. It concerns me that if I were to accidentally exit a highway (I end up in a right lane that exits), it wouldn't stop for the stop sign or traffic light at the end of the off ramp.
Further, it doesn't seem to 'be aware' of the speed of traffic ahead. When you accelerate from a complete stop, it accelerates rather quickly even if cars are at a complete stop just up ahead. This is not a safety concern FOR ME, but I'm not sure what people up ahead would think of a car rapidly accelerating towards them when they are at a dead stop.
Mostly I love the auto-pilot. But I think it still has a few issues that need to be sorted out.
part of me is wondering if they are trying to use the data they collect to "permanently" teach the fleet where the markers are at. if they get everything in the country recorded internally the cars wont need to follow anything else. they would get updated constantly by driving when the lane markers arent covered by adverse weather.
+Patrick Hoffman it would be smart, use one tesla to teach another.
however, that second part may cause issues with unreported construction.
+LeafeonGold right im thinking it would only be done when it cant see whats happening. it would make snow or heavy rain/fog fool proof since construction workers arent normally re paving a road as its snowing outside.
+Patrick Hoffman intellectual level at its best
+Patrick Hoffman correct they are doing that for some extent, in fact the ai has many learning capabilities of it's own, this isn't a gimmick, anyone who thinks so is ignorant, this is the real path to autonomous vehicles and it's approaching quickly at this rate.
Still don't understand why people buy these things for $100'000 and then claim it was to save money......
Strider9655 After a while the savings from not paying for gas add up
Not to $100'000 they don't.
Excellent video! This is one of the few by a person who really understands the subtleties of Autopilot. Besides what you show, another version of this same case is when you approach an intersection, with the car in front shown as blue, and he changes lanes right inside the intersection. That is, of course, not a common thing, but it has happened to me. I agree both these things Tesla should address. I am doing similar videos if you want to check them.
Yes please show them. People view my video and think it's because of the bad weather that I'm abusing autopilot or something but exactly like you said, this same situation happened to be me on a clear sunny day. I tried to recreate this same event but after 10 years the city finally painted the lines on the highway!!
Pretty impressive it can follow even without seeing the road!
Thanks for the warning, never thought of this before.
I'm sorry man, but that is not a tractor.
+Ryan Rodriguez technically it is a tractor unit, so yes
If you consider that the Tesla does not detect the lane markings when this happened, then from the logic of Tesla´s computer´s point of view, the truck is not changing lanes, but a car located next to you tries to crash into you. In other words: If anything, the computer thinks the car right NEXT to you is "changing lanes", while you are merely following your lane.
This might be counteracted by having the computer consider the road maps of this location to check if the road is curved in this spot at all, and also tracking more than one car around the Tesla might allow the computer to realize the truck in front of you is changing lane, not the other way around. In any case - it is obvious this is a very dangerous situation!
_"Where's the kaboom?_
_There was supposed to be an Earth-Shattering Kaboom!"_
Electric car - one of the best researches for last years - they need to give some prize for research systems like this...
How does it deal with weather based separation distances? In snow we're talking about a 20 second separation to be absolutely safe. It seems like the autopilot was no aware of this situation?
Nothing can go wrong...go wrong...go wrong...
Suddenly feel like playing _Lemmings._
puts a whole new spin on if "Billy jumped off a bridge" doesn't it.
Video starts @ 5:43
Sooo. . . let's hope this truck doesn't decide to take a tour through the ditch. It most certainly sounds as though you will be following it! Lmao
WHEN THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND, ONLY YOU AND THE TRUCK I GOT SCARED
You can also see that it's even having trouble discerning what type of vehicle is in front around 6:10 -- it switches the icon between car fairly erratically.
Pro tip: IF you use auto pilot in the snow your just asking for it... you should be in control of your vehicle at all times during adverse conditions. Using cruise control when its crappy out, slippery out or snowing is also stupid.
Also don't follow so close to the damn truck lol... if you can't see his mirrors he can't see you.
If they could install GPS repeater stations every 20 - 30 miles along the routes (perhaps on cell phone masts) it should be possible to resolve the ground position of the vehicle to 2 - 3 cm (one inch). Sensors perhaps combined with gyros could keep track of the vehicle's position when the GPS signal is temporarily blocked by bridges, buildings or high vehicles. With that in place, once the lane positions have been accurately mapped there should be no need to see the lane markings visually. Data on divertions and roadworks and even pot-holes could be collected in real time from other linked vehicles using the road.
Awesome. Thanks for the video. I would guess that eventually Tesla would have the car try and keep the wheels in the dark tracks in the road - assuming that the lane markings are under the white lines to the left and right, with a white line down the middle of the lane. That's how humans guestimate it.
So if the car in front of you goes out ot the road and crashes your car is also going to follow that lane? That's dangerous
+ALIENdrifter66 when the road isn't clear, YES that is a possibility, but things will improve... remember Tesla is collecting all of this info everyday to make navigation better & safe
+ALIENdrifter66 If the driver had half a brain, he or she would have disabled autopilot well before it comes to this stage.
Aalok Galappatti I suppose but because it drives for itselft it's easier to get distracted, use the phone or tablet, get asleep
+Aalok Galappatti
Do you really think the guy in the car behind that is distracted by his IPhone, Starbucks, and Crispy Cream is going to even notice the car in front of him driving over the cliff? :)
Please think about following a tractor trailer in your high end vehicle. Rocks and debris will damage your vehicle.
I will just post a comment . I hope you like it and I hope you post more ways of wasting people time, thanks for showing all that inter- esting stuff.
What does the auto-pilot do when your predetermined course (DPS destination) deviates from that of the object being followed? I would assume that it would beep at you to tell you that you have to take over the driving duties, but what happens if you do not???
I don't understand the mindset with this. I would be rather more stressed checking what the autopilot did rather than enjoying analyzing everything around me and driving to the conditions.
Just another reason to look forward to my future Tesla purchase! Thanks!
1st I like the cruise controlling brakes and accelerator but there no way in hell I'd give up my steering. It takes very little effort to steer a car.
2nd Anyone willing to trust a computer in the snow deserves what they get.
That is one good point.
Good job.
Wonder what happens if the truck leaves the highway?
If she follows it and exits too (contradicting w/ the GPS/NAV path), would Tesla re-route and get back on the highway?
Interesting demonstration. Thanks for posting!
Amazing technology, maybe in the 7.2 there will be software that can recognise the flashing indicators on the vehicle it's following
I want to test this on the mountain highways up here in Oregon and Washington. There were many areas where the lane markings were completely gone. I got so nervous driving the road. Until the car can deal with no lane markings I'm going to wait
I am struggling a bit to take your point. In your preamble you explain very clearly what it can and can't do. The weather is awful and many people will be impressed autopilot coped as well as it did. You foresaw a potential difficulty when the lane markings became obscured, and took over manual control when the truck changed lanes. So I am a bit confused. Are you saying autopilot should have been even better than it was? That a crash might have occurred had you not taken over control? Should you have taken back control earlier given the weather and that lane markings were going in and out of sight. You advise Tesla to issue a warning. About what? I am still not very clear.
Prior to the latest release of v7.1, when the lanes disappear, you would get a warning to take over the wheel as it didn't follow the path of the car in front of you. So you had to take over no matter what. Now with this release, there is a new enhancement that will follow the car in front (if visible by radar) when the lanes disappear. It actually follows the exact path of the car too, and this is where Tesla owners would be unaware that their car would switch lanes if the car in front switched. This happened to me on a clear day when lane marking weren't clear, so it had nothing to do with weather. This is the warning that Tesla should have given users with this release. If I wasn't paying attention to the car in front switching lanes, I would have most certainly side swiped the car to my left in this video.
+Ricco831 No that wouldn't happen. The Model S (and X) have radars, sonars and a front camera. The following would happen if theres a car directly besides you and the truck which the tesla has been following changes lanes:
Your Tesla would have detected the car to the side and wouldn't have switched lanes. It would've waited till the car was gone. Since the truck would be on the other lane while that happens, the Tesla wouldn't have a car to follow and no lane to keep. So it would've automatically switched off Autopilot, sending you a warning that you have to take over. The Model S and X both are excellent at keeping you out of danger, you could consider them the safest cars out there.
( lines disappear )
What Tesla tells you: Alert, please drive car manually
What Tesla is thinking: HOLY SHIT WHERE DA FAQ IZ DA LINEZ 911 HELLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AwesomeBot9000 oh....
So if the car in front of you crashes off a cliff your stupid car follows it? Brilliant.
Pretty simple fix. The software just has to prioritize the proximity readings over the "follow" target.
Wonderful video. I also think, but I am uncertain, that the Tesla tended to drift over towards the inside edge of your lane when the road curved and the lane markings were obscured. You were following very closely (no criticism) and I wonder what happens in turns if you are following very far back during such curves.
This is some smart programming.
So if the vehicle in front went over a cliff would your car follow it?
+James Schilling BWAHAHAH! Well that would suck, just like your Rhumba!!!
Snow falls, truck falls off a cliff, Tesla follows.
That's not quite true. Prior to 7.1, the display didn't show whether the vehicle in front was a truck, motorcycle or car. That doesn't mean the car couldn't tell. There are other things the car can sense, such as pedestrians and traffic lights, that the car won't alert you to because there's no specific programming available to the driver related to pedestrians or traffic light colors and it would be misleading to imply that the car would necessarily detect or react to something it's not programmed to do.
Must made an offhand mention of the car's ability to recognize traffic lights, for example, back in October 2014, although he never mentioned that the car would do anything with the information.
I was wondering why the roads looked familiar... we share similar commutes oddly enough.
So then Tesla should make the cameras detect indicators of the vehicle it's following. And as mentioned, it would hardly steer sideways into an object that is detected by the radar sensors.
Amazing technology! when I win the lottery this could be one of my first purchases.
I'm pretty sure that these autopilot settings are not perfect, hense that situation you were just in. However as a person who doesn't work for tesla, i would assume that they store the information for examination when the driver grabs the wheel. Its not the best that you have to engage in spouts of attention due to danger, but, with all that new information gathered that normally wouldn't be gathered on a test course, the engineers could update the software as needed. Thank you for being a guinea pig for lack of better words, and i hope that this feature sweeps the nation as fast as expected. Great video. and tesla, your cars are a piece of art. can't wait till uber gets a whole bunch so i can afford to ride in one.
Great idea, follow an 18 wheeler and make sure you catch every single rock or debris that thing kicks up at you from behind so that your Tesla can tac on a number of dings and scratches.
Incredible where technology is going :D
+Levo GAMES I think it's time for amber alert for technology. It's gone somewhere no one's asked. SRSLy. Driving with such an autopilot is like driving with student who is just learning to drive. Terrifying.
+Blackhawk51806
It will only get better. No new technology is introduced fully developed.. Yes cars are dangerous. And yes it can be argued that its not fair for other drivers to risk their health for someone else's expensive toy.
But I personally cant wait for the day when I can do my work in my car so that i can come into or leave work early/late. Or for if I want a 40 minute nap during my commute.. Or so that I never have to sit in a traffic jam ever again because the cars around me are also in auto pilot.
If it's set to follow the car ahead, you better hope that driver doesn't fall asleep at the wheel or text, and end up going off the road.
+Julie Purpleskater Like the scene in Close encounters when the cops are chasing a UFO down the road.
Why did it stop sensing the cars around it? It should have realized a car was next to it. Why are people stupid enough to think its this guys fault?? Why doesn't the car just slow down if its unsure about what to do next? Why don't people appreciate that this guy just fully explained the autopilot feature and pointed out its limitation for their safety? So many questions... (you could have gave a little summary at the beginning though lol.)
That's right, when the car is depending on the front vehicle movement when the lane marking aren't visible, it will always follow the main marker.. so Tesla need to get that fixed for sure.. can't the gps and maps give a pin point of the vehicle to the system? but with time this will eventually get better...
The sensors in the rear of the car only have about a 5 meter range, so it can't account for fast moving vehicles in the rear when switching lanes
I don't own a Tesla yet, but thanks for the heads up because it makes me wonder about Elon Musk tweeting that a Tesla could be summoned to travel from one point of the country to the other in about 2 years. I hope the software and hardware are refined and upgraded for that kind of summoning.
+Carlos Malave Doubtful. He didn't say that the cars in their current configuration would be able to do that and in the future there will likely be more sensors, including more cameras and/or more radar. Just because the car might be able to do it in theory doesn't mean that government regulators would let it happen. The software might be upgraded, but the hardware won't be able to be retrofitted.
Thank god for the TH-cam speed feature.
i hope the model 3 comes out with autopilot too that would be awesome
It should
Ricco831! Great video! I was wondering about the lane change when following another vehicle. Very informative. I will be getting my Model X in February and watching as many Autopilot videos as possible to prepare. Thanks for some great info!

So if there's no vehicle ahead of you to follow, you're pretty much left without any hope?
This certainly seems like a huge issue, especially since so many people are gung-ho about replacing all cars with these systems.
why the hell would you drive behind a truck for that long, rock chips galore.
That's some pretty amazing technology right there.
Dunno if I would be courageous enough to trust it though.
You have to factor in, this system gathers information on the go, the more information Telsa gets the better the system will be.
This was genuinely interesting, thanks!
