This is a car that can now be used as if it were an autonomous vehicle, when in fact it is not and the brand itself advises against removing hands from the steering wheel.
Although still the circumstances are not known about the accident that first dead a driver who drove a Tesla Model S on autopilot mode, this is a car that stands out for power and used as if it were an autonomous vehicle, when in fact it is not, there is still no regulation on them. In fact, there are videos on Youtube of drivers traveling with cars Tesla Model S while taking a nap, something that discourages the brand itself.
When you turn the Autopilot , the system of own car requires the driver to tighten an option scorecard recognizing that knows that this is a technology testing and should be used only as a management assistant. the driver is obliged to keep their hands on the wheel at all times is also recalled, as well as maintaining control over and responsibility for your vehicle. This legal disclaimer may limit the liability of Tesla in case of an accident with Autopilot in action, but apparently does little to deter some users from using their vehicles irresponsibly. We are seeing more evidence that some drivers are putting on Autopilot more faith than the system deserves.
The recent accident in which the veteran army Joshua Brown killed when Tesla Model s crashed at full speed into the trailer of a heavy truck, is a grim reminder of the dangers of relinquishing control of vehicle systems such as Autopilot , which are neither regulated nor fully tested and which should not be considered as an alternative to full control of the vehicle by a licensed driver behind the wheel. In the case of Brown, according to Tesla admits publicly, the system did not see the trailer that was crossed perpendicularly front of the car on the road.
The system autopilot Tesla , available as an option on some models of the Californian brand, is not the autopilot its name seems to suggest . Far from being a complete system of autonomous driving, including a database with mapped routes for that purpose, Autopilot is a cluster of independent active systems driver assistance to working together make an imitation very good but not foolproof, of a true system of autonomous driving. In the words of a company representative, “ Autopilot does not make a Tesla in an autonomous vehicle”.
In the United States still does not exist legislation governing the operation of autonomous driving vehicles nationwide. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA for its acronym in English) will this summer to publicize its recommendations in this regard. However, last December the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) California State warned of the risks of deploying technology while highly restrictive legislation proposed it. At that time the California DMV argued that the potential risks associated with the deployment of such a novel technology make, in your opinion, manufacturers need to get more experience in the operation of vehicles without driver on public roads before putting this technology . to the public
