Some exciting news this week: Tesla Version 7 software with Autopilot goes to wide release on Thursday!
Tesla Motors will drop another update for Model S owners – new software with an Autopilot mode comes out Thursday. The version 7 software includes self-driving features the company has promoted for months.
The market for autonomous vehicle technology has grown crowded, with Google and Apple the most prominent entrants from Silicon Valley.
Tesla s Model X SUV, in limited release, has a front camera, radar and 360 degree sonar to feel around the vehicle and enable the autopilot features. The company claims the software updates for the crossover bring greater safety and convenience to drivers, allowing for more autonomous steering and parking.
Perhaps Tesla s new software will prevent crashes like this mash-up between a Model S and a Google self-driving vehicle.
