Tesla Motors representatives have repeatedly stated that they do not find work in the infrared laser radar (so-called "lidar") necessary to provide a safe system of autopilot type sensors. According to the head of the company, it is possible to dispense with ultrasonic sensors and cameras. Nevertheless, Tesla Motors has been repeatedly suspected in the test prototypes of electric vehicles with "lidar", and recently in the vicinity of the automaker's headquarters was seen another copy of the Model S with "lidar" .
Velodyne products are quite popular among the automakers. Tesla has recently revised the priority of the data used by the active driver assistance system. Now radar is more important than the camera when recognizing obstacles. Perhaps the company will revise its attitude and to LIDAR.
Tesla Motors approach to investigate the incidents allegedly spontaneous acceleration of electric vehicles. Engineers look at the record of onboard systems, which are transferred to the company's servers, and determine the causes of the electric acceleration. Two recent cases in the United States, where electric cars brand suddenly accelerated instead of stopping in the parking lot, were associated with a push on the accelerator pedal. Related Products :
