Tesla has announced an update of the navigation system in the Tesla S, the drivers take the fear of empty battery driven and shall lead them into charging stations in time. In addition, the car can drive automatically in three months on the highway, according to Tesla.
Tesla Motors is planning a software update for the Tesla S, which can be self-controlled drive on US highways. Tesla CEO Elon Musk calls this function autopilot. You should enable it, according to him, “practically to drive between San Francisco and Seattle, without the driver must do something” . Since the end of September Tesla builds cars with the required autopilot technology.
The function Tesla was already at the presentation of the P85D with two engines. The end of 2014 put Tesla Motors Model S before the fastest ever. The P85D is equipped with all-wheel drive and the most expensive version of this vehicle series.
With the autopilot functions Tesla went to the border of the currently permitted and added some automatic functions to increase the safety and comfort. If the driver activates the turn signal on a multi-lane road, the car drives the new track, if there is no vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle tries to keep the track.
In theory, drive the vehicle independently in the city, but that’s Tesla too risky, so the function will be available only on highways. However, it is still allowed almost anywhere, truly autonomous driving, Musk said. The driver must always be alert and able to intervene if necessary.
In addition, the vehicle electronics detect using a camera traffic signs with speed limits. Then the car will adjust its speed.
are only allowed on private land, the features that the car itself goes to its owner if it it evokes. In this way, the car can also drive alone in the garage and park.
The Tesla S of the new model year can also warn if the driver leaves the track. Lane departure has been around a long time with other manufacturers. The car is equipped with twelve sensors that are based on ultrasound and radar. The radar in the front can fog, snow, sand and rain to penetrate and should have a long reach. It warns the driver of obstacles in front of him.
Navigation system keeps charging stations in view
It was also found Musk, what is meant by the announced function to combat range anxiety. It is a software update for the Tesla S and its built-in navigation system. The so-called range-Assurance application is running in the background even if no target has been programmed into the GPS. Warns the driver when it moves away overlooking the battery state of charge too far from the nearest charging station. Also, check online what kind of power stations are overloaded so the driver does not have to wait until it is their turn. Software updates are at Tesla as mobile phones and tablets over-the-air and do not require a visit to the workshop.
The quoted by Musk range anxiety is how attentive reader already noticed, mainly interested in, but not for drivers of electric cars available. Tesla powerful and very large batteries are used, the more lines are suitable for the ride. The loading of the super chargers Tesla, which were set up in Germany is free of charge. With one charge of P85D is widely used as bestmotorisierter Tesla S around 480 kilometers (NEDC), while the less powerful models 85D and 85 respectively about 502 kilometers (NEDC) to drive far.
Restricted driving mode for granted Tesla
do likewise coming through the update Valet mode allows the Model S to move into a mode where it does not can be moved quickly and the glove compartment and the trunk stay locked. In addition, no personal information is shown on the display. This is useful, for example, when the car is being lent or provided by the staff in the car park, which is quite common in the United States. (Ad)
