Musk: Autopilot doesn't work 100% perfect

Whether it was a fatal traffic accident during Uber's unmanned road test, or an autopilot-enabled Tesla Model X crash barrier, it all had a negative impact on the development of driverless cars.


Tesla CEO Musk

In the latest interview, Tesla CEO Elon Musk talked about the Tesla Autopilot Autopilot Assist System. Musk said that the Autopilot system will never be perfect, but Autopilot can effectively reduce the number of accidents.

For the Tesla Model X incident on March 23rd, after Tesla investigated, the Model X did indeed start the Autopilot system at the time of the accident, but before the accident, the driver received multiple visuals from the Autopilot system. With a voice warning, let him put his hand on the steering wheel, but until the car accident happened, the driver took over the steering wheel.

It is reported that before hitting the belt, the driver had a reaction time of 5 seconds or 150 meters. However, the record shows that the driver did not take any action.

It seems that the reason for this tragedy is largely because the driver is overly convinced of the autopilot assist system. In fact, as one of the early companies involved in the field of autopilot, Tesla seemed to have "had a big early morning and had a late set."

According to the road test report of the latest driverless car of the motor vehicle management bureau of California in the unmanned vehicle “Sacred Ground”, during the test period from December 2016 to December 2017, Waymo averaged 5596 miles without the need for human drivers. Intervention ranked first, and General Motors and Nissan ranked second and third, while Tesla said it did not test self-driving cars on California highways during this period.


Model X

However, according to Tesla’s official disclosure, Autopilot has used more than 85,000 self-driving cars for Tesla owners on the same stretch of road. It should be noted that prior to this, Tesla had promoted Autopilot with the "Full Autopilot" as the highlight, but later renamed Autopilot as a semi-autonomous driving function.
