Tesla claims that Autopilot gives you more confidence behind the wheel, increases
your safety on the road, and makes highway driving more enjoyable. Tesla
Autopilot functions a lot like the systems that airplane pilots use when conditions
are clear. The driver is still responsible for, and ultimately in control of, the car[3].
Tesla gives the driver an intuitive access to the information which it is using to
control its actions. Along with the usual combination of accident prevention
technology such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems(ADAS), which actuates
emergency steering and braking, the autopilot technology that powers the Tesla Model S
and Model X electric vehicles enables cars to autonomously steer, change lanes, follow
vehicles and curves, and park automatically in the garage. The nature of these cars is
boldly different from most of the other production vehicles out there in the consumer
market. Tesla introduced its Model S software version 7.0 which is a software update for
Tesla‟s autopilot hardware for Model S and Model X production vehicles, which allows
vehicles to use data from the surrounding cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to
automatically steer down the highway(freeway), change lanes and adjust speed in
response to traffic conditions. Once the driver arrives at the destination, Model S or
Model X scans for a parking space and parallel parks on the driver's command[4].
