This prevents Tesla from accidents

A radar system equipped in the vehicle allows Elon Musk technology to avoid collisions

  2016 has been the year in which Tesla has finally become one of the major players in the world of technology and the automotive market.

Although he closes the exercise with some shadows after the accidents in China and the United States due to errors of his famous 'Autopilot'. Last September, Elon Musk announced that version 8.0 of the Tesla software would be "able to see between cars".

That 'prophecy' seems to have come true. The radar of the system 'Autopilot' of Tesla is able to anticipate and anticipate accidents on the motorways as demonstrated by a video of Hans Noordsij, a passionate of these vehicles.

  The clip recorded with a small camera on the dashboard of the American vehicle shows a spectacular accident on the A2 motorway in the Netherlands.

The 'Autopilot', updated to version 8.0, is equipped with a radar technology that sends signals that bounce with the front vehicle to be able to track these in the trip, in this way the system monitors the trajectory of the cars.

Front collision warning

In the video you can hear the operation of the frontal collision warning (Forward Collision Warning). An instant later, the vehicles that precede the Tesla collide. Musk's prediction is fulfilled: Tesla's software is able to anticipate what happens on the road.

In addition to avoid added problems, the Tesla software activated the emergency braking system before the driver stepped on the vehicle's brake. The new update of the technology of Elon Musk managed to advance two seconds to the accident in the A2 of the Netherlands.

In the result, fortunately, no one was seriously injured and technology avoided a greater evil this time.
