These last days have been quite a stir with a small accident that a vehicle Tesla Model S has been in the United States. Nothing happened really serious, but reopened the debate on the autonomous vehicle capabilities, and responsibilities. The issue became more important when the company Elon Musk answered and said he had been ruling the owner.
Jared Overton is called the famous user of Model S . Mind you parked behind a truck to go to a nearby establishment, returning, his car was stamped on the back of the truck that was in front, with the windshield shattered – a settlement of $ 700 -.
This is the story told KSL, and moved quickly through the network until Tesla replied. We assume that they would go to Jared equally, but the truth is that without the fuss, it would not be aired throughout much detail.
What Tesla say?
Here the matter seems to be at the launch of “Summon” ensures that the user have not used that day. With a few taps on the shift lever is put in place, and is not fully effective, there are elements that can not be detected and cause some altercation, so Tesla asks the user who is overseeing the operation.
we must also mention that the company determines that all these smart operations are in “beta” with what it implies. It sounds bad that to relate that concept vehicles that require the highest level of security, but it is a way to get the news to the market, and tell the responsible you have to be careful.
These vehicles are machines gatherer of information, recorded everything, and threw hand Tesla logs the time of the accident. His conclusion is that the user was not sufficiently attentive to the movements of the vehicle while executing the “Summon” operation, which itself had been triggered.
Summon, parking the Tesla
the Summon system takes us to the house car automatically, also parked it without assistance, all we manage it from the phone, and we can stop their performance in different ways: key, opening a door, or from the mobile application. The idea is that we have mechanisms to stop quickly, if something dangerous occurs, as the news in question.
Okay, Tesla has very well in their videos, but turn to users to check the other car they have in the catalog, the new Model X, also has “Summon” mode. It leaves or automatically parked in the garage, controlling doors and lights. The entire process is managed from a mobile application:
What could have happened
Many “veterans” in Model S have been changing impressions? possibility, and among them we highlight the YouTuber KmanAuto, showing us what might have happened to the car Jared and it shows in the video below – is in English, and is long but easy to follow -. If you are interested in this topic, it is very interesting document to see, regardless of the news in question.
Comment that is in the line of Tesla, he says that Jared executed Summon the Model S and the vehicle he failed to measure distances well with what lay ahead as the truck has a considerable height in the rear cargo area. In short, the owner has to be supervising the maneuver if you do not want problems
An important detail to make sense of all this. Teaches us the position of the sensors of the car, which used to park for automatic – do not use radar, autopilot or camera – and we understand that at the height of the windshield can be problems with the automatic mode
