New York is the privileged witness of several celebrity trips and our correspondent Richard Châteauvert mentioned to Paul Houde and Thérèse Parisien having crossed paths with Spike Lee twice in the streets of New York.
But New Yorkers could soon see the arrival of self-driving cars very soon in the American metropolis.
The fact is that Elon Musk’s Tesla company is now offering owners of its vehicles to obtain the download of software that allows complete autonomous driving.
This means that vehicles in automatic pilot mode will therefore be able to venture into cities from now on. Until recently, autopilot could only be used on major highways.
Tesla drivers will, however, have to undergo a seven-day evaluation by the company and will have to shell out $ 10,000 to get the download in addition to a monthly subscription of around $ 200 per month.
However, the US Highway Safety Administration is currently investigating 11 accidents involving Tesla cars in automatic mode with emergency vehicles.
Richard Châteauvert also explains that by 2030, semi-autonomous trucks without a driver will be in great demand and increasingly present on the roads of North America.
