Uber Driver Shows The Power Of Tesla’s Autopilot [Video]
02 Nov 2015 by Sloane Hunter in Associated Brands, Cars, Tech/Sci, uber, Video
Elon Musk’s autopilot feature sure has its ups and downs – but over time, the tech will only become stronger. And now that Tesla’s autopilot feature is on the roads, we’re learning more about it and how it reacts in natural situations – like this one an Uber driver found himself in:
On a recent rainy and pitch-black morning in Seattle, Jon Hall had just dropped off a passenger and was cruising along the highway in his Tesla at nearly 75 kmph when another car made a sharp U-turn in front of him, cutting him off. But Jon was using Tesla’s new autopilot feature, and his electric vehicle stopped immediately, saving him and his self-driving car from a potentially fatal head-on collision.
Jon claimed that the reaction time was so on point, he wasn’t even able to react before the car had come to a stand still.
In Elon Musk we trust.
