Artificial Intelligence in Tesla Vehicles Artificial Intelligence in Tesla Vehicles Tesla can benefit a lot from artificial intelligence technology as it can extend the driving range and drop the price of batteries. Some models are 200-300 miles more than its predecessors in terms of the range but with a low cost. Nevertheless, it is not quite clear how much Tesla has invested in AI research but it has indicated it would be taking a ‘cutting edge’ approach in the project. Musk spoke about a partnership between Tesla and Google’s DeepMind during a tweet published in 2016. That same year, Tesla became a member of the OpenPOWER Foundation, a group that consists of companies such as IBM, Dell and Intel, which focuses on POWER-based servers. Tesla’s mission is to bring sustainable energy to the world, with zero-emission vehicles and energy storage. This will be done by embracing modern technology that uses electric cars and advanced energy storage and software controls able to adjust to changing weather patterns. How much AI can we expect to see incorporated into vehicles by Tesla and other companies? Tesla is ranked among the top in self-driving technology, and its cars are fully fitted with hardware and software for autonomous driving. It also released a driver assist which includes auto braking, lane keeping, and autopilot. Yet, with the advent of the fully autonomous driving, Tesla has made the original autopilot software to mitigate the risk of an accident. The company has also declared that it is currently manufacturing better self-driving technology which can operate in all weather situations. Autopilot system (Autonomous Driving) The first model with Tesla’s Autopilot system was the Model S sedan. Autopilot is a driver assistance technology, which assists when the driver does not have control in their hands. Tesla says that Autopilot reduces crash probability by 40 percent and the time required to exit highway driving by 50 percent. These numbers might seem astonishing but should be taken with caution. The misconception about Tesla Autopilot has led the media to portray it as a fully autonomous driving system. However, it is not fully autonomous, as drivers must keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times while Autopilot is in use. Tesla Autopilot can also bring the car to a complete stop by itself. However, it can be reasonable to think that at least some autonomy exists with the vehicle since it is a Tesla. Tesla is currently working on a driver-assist system that could eventually lay the foundation of a fully automated driving system. The company argues that the system is made to operate in most weather conditions, with or without a GPS signal. The system, although not fully autonomous, would include automatic lane-keeping and lane-centering, and thus the driver can become slightly distracted by music or other entertainment. Tesla states that this new technology will be an “ultimate driver assistance system”, which will ultimately become fully autonomous in the future. Artificial Intelligence in Tesla Vehicles AI Integrated chips Tesla AI created an AI AI-integrated chip to allow Tesla cars to navigate through traffic, even in full traffic. These chips are faster than Nvidia and they are cheaper than Nvidia chips. This Tesla chip comprises about 6 billion Transistors forming a circuit. The AI chips in Tesla cars have two of them that improve for better performance. The two chips are used to save us from accidents and other traffic hazards. In the earlier this year, Elon Musk said that Tesla would be able to cross the United States in the next six months using its autonomous cars. Musk stated that the system is also improving at a rate of three to five times per month and Musk claimed that the company’s cars would be able to drive autonomously without human input by the end of this year. Whilst Tesla can certainly be referred to as having cutting-edge technology, driving a car from Los Angeles to New York can be seen as one of the most difficult engineering challenges there are. Tesla has decided to take the “see it to believe it “route by including features like Summon, allowing the car to park itself and park itself in a garage. An autonomous car would need to master complex road conditions, reach its destination in good time, and remain aware of the changing weather. Tesla admits its new autonomous driving system is currently not capable of stopping at stop signs however, Tesla does not appear overly ambitious when they express expectation to this technology within the next several years”.
