A YouTube video posted by Whole Mars Catalog shows a Tesla full self-driving Beta 11.4.4 driving for one hour through Los Angeles, from Torrance to West Hollywood with zero human input of any kind. The video shows the a man sitting at the wheel feet and hands free with the tesla driving up La Cienega to San Vicente Boulevard, past Santa Monica Boulevard, turning west on Cynthia Street and north on Larrabee Street, before stopping south of Sunset Boulevard.
According to Tesla, autopilot is an advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind the wheel. When used properly, Autopilot reduces your overall workload as a driver. Each new Tesla vehicle is equipped with eight external cameras and powerful vision processing to provide an additional layer of safety. All vehicles built for the North American market now use our camera-based Tesla Vision to deliver Autopilot features, rather than radar.
Autopilot comes standard on every new Tesla. For owners who took delivery of their cars without Autopilot, there are multiple packages available for purchase, depending on when your car was built: Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability.
Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.
The currently enabled Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. Full autonomy will be dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As Tesla’s Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capabilities evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.
Too bad the CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD has so few TESLA SUPERCHARGERS when Santa Monica has a couple of hundred!
So cool.
