Tesla driverless system to use updated レーダ 科学(工学)技術

Electric carmaker Tesla 発表するd Sunday it was 昇格ing its (空)自動操縦装置 ソフトウェア to use more 前進するd レーダ 科学(工学)技術.

In a teleconference, Tesla 創立者 and CEO Elon Musk said the update, which should be downloadable in two weeks for models 配達するd after October 2014, "very likely" would have saved the life of a Florida driver who died in May after 衝突する/食い違うing with a トラックで運ぶ.

With the 最新の update, the system would have identified a "large metal 反対する across the road," Musk said.

The Florida 悲劇 -- the first deadly 衝突,墜落 with a driverless system -- took place after (空)自動操縦装置 failed to (悪事,秘密などを)発見する the トラックで運ぶ 予定 to poor 天候 and low luminosity.

The レーダ 科学(工学)技術 -- which will now be used as a 最初の/主要な 支配(する)/統制する sensor, rather than relying on the 基準 camera system -- easily sees through 霧, dust rain or snow.

"It should work for something like a moose, because a moose is やめる a big 集まり, but it may not work for something like a small deer," Musk said.

Tesla explained that "the 逮捕する 影響 of this, 連合させるd with the fact that レーダ sees through most visual obscuration, is that the car should almost always 攻撃する,衝突する the ブレーキs 正確に even if a UFO were to land on the freeway in 無 visibility 条件s."

The company's cars, it said, will also be able to bounce the レーダ signal under a 乗り物 it is 追跡するing and still ブレーキ, 避けるing a 可能性のある pile-up should the car in 前線 衝突,墜落.

"Perfect safety is really an impossible goal," Musk said in discussing the update, which was developed over the past three to four months.

"It's about 改善するing the probability of safety. There won't ever be 無 fatalities, there won't ever be 無 傷害s."

The Tesla 長,指導者 概算の that the new system was a threefold 改良 of safety, while stopping short of considering the update a 解任する of the old system.
