Not long ago, Musk posted a message on social media that he would soon launch autopilot assistance software without human intervention and apply it to his self-driving taxi fleet, namely Tesla's online car, or it will be officially put into use in 202 1 year.
If you follow the zero-intervention fully automatic driving described by Musk, it corresponds to at least the L4 level of SAE, that is, highly automatic driving. When the vehicle completes all driving operations, human drivers do not need to keep their attention, but limit the road and environmental conditions. So can Tesla AutoPilot reach L4 level at present?
In fact, no matter how much Musk swears, the relevant administrative departments in Europe and America are cautious about Tesla AutoPilot. Previously, the court in Munich, Germany ruled that Tesla's advertisements in Germany misled consumers, so that they could no longer claim or imply that their vehicles had autonomous driving function in the future.
Recently, Europe's automobile safety assessment agency Euro? NCAP evaluated the driver's assistance, and they chose to include Tesla model? 3 * * * Ten cars participated in the test. In the end, Audi Q8, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz GLE were rated as "very good", Ford Maverick was rated as "good", Volkswagen Passat, Nissan Juke, Volvo V60 and Tesla Model? 3 was rated as "medium", and Renault Clio and Peugeot 2008 were rated as "entry".
Similar to the opinion of Munich court, euro? NCAP believes that Tesla exaggerates the function of AutoPilot and there is no perfect driver monitoring system in the car. Especially after the driver slams the steering wheel to avoid obstacles, AutoPilot will go offline directly, and no longer provide necessary driving assistance, which is out of the original intention of autonomous driving.
A similar situation also appeared in the United States, in the Consumer Report (Consumer? In the recent ADAS cross-evaluation, Tesla's AutoPilot once again lost to GM autopilot assist Super? Cruise, ranked second in the 17 car, and the same test results also appeared in the cross-evaluation test two years ago.
The test results this time, GM Super? Cruise scored 69 points, Tesla AutoPilot scored 57 points, and only Ford's co-pilot scored more than 50 points in the other 15 systems.
In terms of design concept, GM Super? Cruise advocates safety first and can only be used in areas with high-precision maps, and the supervision of drivers is also very strict. However, Tesla AutoPilot is different. It seems to be more inclined to proceed from user convenience and automation, and the supervision of drivers is relatively loose.
Written at the end: As the car company with the highest market value at present, Tesla has been full of vitality along the way and really led the innovation of the automobile industry, especially in new energy and autonomous driving technology. However, the safety of car driving is the most important thing, and there is no room for carelessness. As a global leader in new energy vehicles, Tesla should play a good leading role in automobile safety technology.
