I was able to play with its “Pilot Assist” option, which is a mode the car can go into once adaptive cruise control is engaged. A little green steering wheel icon lights up when the mode is engaged and the lane can be tracked. It did extremely well in “autonomously driving”, but required that it could sense my hand on the wheel, and after I removed it for about 15 seconds, the icon would light up saying “Apply Steering”, then it would beep at you if still not applied, then finally it would beep and shut off the mode as well as cruise control, essentially slowing the car. Seemed to me this was the best way to gracefully put the driver back in control.

Despite the warnings, Brown kept his hands off the wheel before colliding with a truck on a Florida highway. - - - The big problem here is that the Tesla continued motoring along normally even though the driver wasn't complying with the autopilot warnings to take back control. This is unacceptable, and puts innocent parties at risk (that is, other drivers of other vehicles). If the driver isn't complying, the Tesla cannot be permitted to simply continue as if nothing was wrong. --Lauren-- Lauren Archives | Modify Your Subscription | Unsubscribe Now
