After a few months since the release of version 6.2 for the
Tesla Model S electric sedan, Tesla is now beginning to test the software
update version 7.0 which brings automatic steering technology. The test was
performed with a number of selected Tesla Model S owners that acted as beta
tester.
As reported previously, the automatic steering technology of
Tesla is a little bit different from the automatic steering technology of other
automotive manufacturers, which essentially allows the driver to leave the
steering wheel and let the car to run by itself.
So what's the benefit brought by Tesla automatic steering
technology? According to Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, the drivers of
Tesla Model S will be more confident in driving their cars.
This system will keep the car remain on the right track,
fitting the position of the car with other cars, and adjust the accelerator and
brake pedals. In other words, you can drive as if the street is empty and no
other cars at all.
In addition to the automatic steering technology, in the
future Tesla reportedly will also create its own digital map service. The
reason, according to the CEO, so far there is no digital map service that's
really ideal for the automatic steering cars.
