Tesla
announced yesteray that all of its cars will have a new suite of self-driving
hardware as standard, enabling a path to fully autonomous driving. The
announcement applies to the Model X, Model S and upcoming Model 3, which should come out in 2018.
The AutoPilot
feature supports adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance, giving
the cars nearly self-driving capability. It also enables automatic emergency
braking and collision warning.
That means
each car will come with eight cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a
forward-facing radar. Tesla says it is implementing a new onboard computer that
will process the data and make driving decisions. The computer uses an Nvidia
Titan GPU and runs a neural net, so it can process imagery and define objects
in its environment.
Tesla CEO Elon
Musk says the new hardware will support Level 5 autonomy, which means the cars
can drive themselves completely. However, Tesla will not enable full
self-driving immediately. Instead, Musk says the company will roll out features
to enhance safety and assist drivers, eventually leading to full autonomy.
