Bosch finds a way to autodrive the Tesla Model S - Autoblog (blog)
Tesla keeps introducing autonomous driving features to its vehicles one step at a time. The parts supplier's video mock-up demonstrates some of the near-term possibilities of autonomous tech with a Tesla as the guinea pig. There's still a modicum of real driving involved, and before setting off, the person behind the wheel even gets to select the route to balance between manual and automatic motoring. Bosch's suite of solutions only allows autonomous driving on some stretches of road, and to activate the system, the driver must hold in two buttons on the steering wheel for three seconds. Perhaps it's just the newness of this tech, but seeing someone paying zero attention to the road while behind the wheel is terrifying. When the time comes to take back control, the info screen displays warnings multiple times. As one of the world's largest automotive parts suppliers, it's not not surprising to see Bosch demonstrating this kind of tech. Source: www.autoblog.com
