Tesla reveals important technical details of the new system, saying it will prevent fatal accidents
On September 11, U.S. Pacific time, Tesla announced on its official website that it is undergoing a major upgrade to Autopilot technology. New features will appear in the Tesla Software Update 8.0 system released several weeks later.
One of the more important upgrades is that Radar will play an important role as well as the auto-disable feature of the Autopilot system.
In previous autopilot technology, the camera and image processing system were the main sensors, and the radar was only used as an auxiliary system to verify the data obtained by the former. In today's upcoming system, the importance of radar will increase even beyond the camera.
Another important change is that if the driver's hand leaves the steering wheel for a certain period of time and ignores the system's warnings, the automatic steering system will automatically be disabled. The alarm will appear as a visual cue on the display before gradually upgrading to an audible alarm.
Musk stated in a subsequent media conference call: "I believe this will be a complete improvement." And said that the upgraded radar system can avoid the occurrence of this year's May event when a Tesla Model S owner was Over-dependence on the autopilot function dies from a car collision.
