Would You Drive With Tesla Autopilot or Something Similar?
It’s been almost a year since Tesla introduced the autopilot feature . Since then, we have made sure that the system is imperfect. However, do you trust (or trust) a car with driving assistance features?
To be clear, Tesla’s autopilot doesn’t make the car fully autonomous. It’s pretty much a combination of cruise control and lane keep assist, which makes highway driving easier but can’t navigate difficult, crowded streets. Consumer Reports, the consumer advocacy group, emphasizes this in its recommendation to change the name . Tesla disagrees with this proposal .
Tesla is not the only company experimenting with automated driving, of course, and many other vehicles have some form of autonomous driving, from lane keeping assist to self-parking. So where are you standing? Are you looking forward to a future in which cars can take on the burden of driving? Or are you hesitant to join this model?
