The software that will enable Tesla’s promised full autonomous driving continues its progress hand in hand with the army of betatesters what day do they test the FSD, in its beta version, facing the difficult challenges of life and real traffic.
The new video posted by the YouTuber AI DRIVR puts Tesla’s Total Autonomous Driving System to the test again in the difficult, and sometimes chaotic, traffic of downtown San Francisco.
The Californian city is characterized by collecting in its streets and driveways a huge amount of personal mobility vehicles of all kinds, that travel the streets at high speed from any angle. East challenge it adds to the peculiar way of driving and dealing with certain typical San Francisco situations.
This situation, which is the daily life of any driver in the city of the west coast, in itself makes difficult certain situations to whoever gets behind the wheel of a car, so a system that aims to eradicate human interaction must be prepared for any similar situation, however difficult and challenging it may be.
In the video of the protagonist of the test those actions that demonstrate the enormous improvements that the FSD is developing, in just a few months, since its launch to a small group of users are evaluated.
During the recording the author of the video also criticizes and highlights the gaps and areas for improvement of the Tesla system. For this reason, this recording takes on a special value when compiling the progress and defects that today the FSD beta in its version 2020.48.35.7.
Skaters on the attack
One of the highlights of the video is when a group of skaters appear almost out of nowhere and flood the lanes, circulating in the opposite direction, including the one that occupies the Model S protagonist of the video.
The skateboard ‘invasion’ comes just as the Model S was about to cross an intersection and the traffic light was green for the vehicle.
The maneuver of the group of skaters does not scare the vehicle that is cautious, once it detects the dangerous situation starring the group that floods the lane through which the electric car was running.
The reaction of the car that was driving autonomously at that time I avoid a potential run over of the individuals who threw themselves occupy the opposite lane mounted on their skateboards.
This reaction the vehicle demonstrates the Elon Musk’s latest statement contributed to a question from Sandy Munro, during an interview with the automotive industry expert.
To the hospital autonomously in case of need
Musk has confirmed to the well-known analyst that «even if someone tries to cheat the car, it will not be successful«In fact, the founder of Tesla assures that the FSD’s main premise is maintain the safety of car occupants «whatever happens«.
The Tesla system, according to Elon Musk, is designed to ensure the integrity of users of the vehicle and the road, in fact in his last statements to Munro, he affirmed that The system will allow in the future, in case the driver falls asleep, to take him to his home autonomously.
In reference to these advanced functions of Tesla with total autonomous driving system, Musk assured during the interview that eventually the car could determine in each case which would be the best option.
Before a situation that affects the driver’s health the car could choose to drive to the nearest hospital, or in other circumstances take you home if you are not ready to drive.
