Another day,another crash involving a Tesla.
On Wednesday Tesla said one of its customers in Beijing was caught unprepared last week when his car,which had autopilot enabled,sidcswiped another vehicle that was partially parked off the side of the road.The accident caused some damage,but nobody was hur.
Tesla's analysis of the vehicle data records showed that the driver didn't have his hands on the wheel.The driver doesn't appear to argue about that account,accusing Tesla salespeople of misleading him into thinking that the car had fully self-driving capabilities.
Here's how Tesla described the crash in a statement to The Washington Post:
The customers dash earn video shows that the Tesla was being driven on a highway in China where a vehicle was parked on the left shoulder straddling the left lane.The Tesla was following closely behind the car in front of it when the lead car moved to the right to avoid hitting the parked car-The driver of the Tesla,whose hands were oot detected on the steering wheel (方向盘),did not steer(转向)to avoid the parked car and instead scraped against its side.As clearly communicated to the driver in the vehicle.Autosteer is an assist feature that requires the driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel at all times,to always maintain control and responsibility for the vehicle,and to be prepared to take over at any time.
Considering the number of Tesla accidents that have made the news in the last three to four months,it's vital that drivers fully understand what Tesla's autopilot can and can t do.It's not like one of Google's driverless cars,where engineers hope passengers will someday be able to push a button,sit back and enjoy the ride.Tesla s autopilot is much closer to a form of advanced cruise conlrol.
The autopilot feature was rolled out in October 2015.But unlike a fully driverless car-which the government would classify as"Level 4automation"一Tesla's autopilot is designed to keep you within a lane,and from hitting other cars,under a limited set of circumstances.
Tesla is generally up front in its marketing these days,reminding people that autopilot is a driver-assist feature,not a driver automation feature.For instance,to enable the automatic steering feature on a Tesla,drivers first have to click through a warning that appears on their car's screens.
