V America cars with full autopilot are already a fact. Although the National Transportation Safety Board in the United States has expressed serious concerns about their safety, Tesla has already granted access to the beta version of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) program to most owners of the brand’s electric models. And only by pressing the request button located on the screen of the control panel inside the cabin.
This fact is a real revolution in automotive history, because in practice
allows
the use of
full autopilot
by almost
all roads
in America, even in narrow city streets.
However, not everyone will be able to get a standalone program for their Tesla. The car itself will take over the functions of the instructor during the driving tests and the real insurer, subjecting each driver to a strict test and one-week monitoring.
Before the driver gains access to the software, Tesla will determine its “safety rating” using five criteria that will assess the likelihood that your driving will lead to a future collision. This is written on the official website of the American company run by billionaire Elon Musk.
The result is calculated using data collected from Tesla sensors and looks at various cases during the last 1000 miles traveled by the driver. These are whether there are warnings of collision, sudden stop, aggressive cornering, non-compliance with distance and forced shutdown of the autopilot. Tesla’s current autopilot feature is disabled after giving three visual and audio warnings when your Tesla car detects that you have taken your hands off the wheel and become careless. Also from the company
will record
actions
on the driver
and if they find it risky and unreliable, full autopilot will be turned off.
The safety assessment guide does not specify what Tesla will consider an acceptable safety score for access to full FSD autopilot, but specifies that most drivers will score 80 points out of a possible 100.
However, the FSD beta software does not make Tesla completely autonomous – the driver
must
holds control
over the vehicle at all times, ie to rest his hands on the steering wheel, from time to time and to keep an eye on the road.
Tesla is opening access to the beta version of FSD to all drivers after testing the software with a select group of customers earlier this year. The monthly subscription package for FSD is $ 199. Previously, the autopilot was sold for a one-time fee of $ 10,000. Tesla owners may cancel their monthly FSD subscription at any time in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on the Tesla website.
However, Jennifer Hondi, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), said Tesla needed to address “major safety issues” before expanding the FSD, such as
called
use
on term
“offline
management ”
misleading
and irresponsibly
Honda accuses Tesla bosses of “apparently misleading many people into abusing technology.” However, the NTSB can only conduct investigations and make recommendations, but has no law enforcement functions.
