The company Tesla Motors has worked in a
prototype of a self-driving car (Auto Pilot features), and on this October 9
the Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk revealed a new version of this electric cars
brand in a open-to-the-public event, included test rides on an airport tarmac.
The new model is upgraded with two electric
motors, one for the front wheels and one for the rear wheels. This car will
have a top speed of 155 mph, and will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2
seconds, but without using fossil fuels. And in additional will preset the new
concept of self-driving car. However the price to this technology will be
expensive, around $120,000.
Today exist many companies selling cars with right
itself if it wanders from its lane and brake automatically if it is about to
hit something. But Tesla Motors was beyond, the new system will can move the
car to another lane when the driver set the turn signal, will use cameras to
read speed limit signs and adjust speed. All this upgrades be due a new
combination of radar, image-recognition cameras and sonar.
“Auto Pilot Cars does not mean the car could
drive itself“, Elon Musk said. But this feature is a big step to add safety in
traffic. And maybe, someday we may drive cars without worry about the traffic, just
get in the car and take you anywhere you want
