Product summary and analytics
The article “Tesla Autopilot
Self-Driving Automobile Technology” by Tung in 2018 introduces how Tesla cars use its forward-facing
radar and ultrasonic sensors around the car to navigate and cruise through traffic
with ease. Through cruise control, the radar and sensor on the car can track
distance and positions of the traffic ahead and adjust its speed accordingly.
However, Tesla autopilot only aids drivers partially, it cannot work well when
the car is traveling at a speed of 20MPH and below, some examples when the
driver should be driving instead of autopilot is when it drives in residential
zones with many street lights and stop signs. When driving through residential
areas at low speed, the driver has to put their hands on the steering wheel, if
the steering wheel’s sensor doesn’t sense the driver’s hand, it will alert the
driver via audible and visually. The car will slowly come to a stop if it still
doesn’t sense the driver’s hand on the wheel. In the near future, Tesla will
upgrade its car’s system to allow it to park itself into a parking slot even when
the driver is not on the car.
