Asleep at the wheel of a Tesla: This is how it drove through Miami

With absolute confidence in his autopilot, the driver of aTesla decided to take a nap while driving on the highways of Miami.

The image was captured by a traveler from another car and, judging by it, the driver of the Tesla was sound asleep, as can be seen in the video shared on the site of the incident.Only in Dade.

With the seat reclined back and his head hanging down (typical of someone who sleeps soundly), the young driver put all his trust in the technology of the car designed by the billionaire.Elon Musk.

“All Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of delivering Autopilot features and full self-driving capabilities through software updates designed to improve functionality over time,” says the company.web from Tesla under the title “The future of driving.”

A multitude of cameras and sensors allow the vehicle to move autonomously, thanks to the processor that interprets all the signals sent by its eight cameras, which offer 360-degree visibility with a range of up to 250 meters.

With 40 times more processing power than the initial models, the integrated Hardware 3 computer runs the neural network developed by Tesla, and provides a view of the environment superior to that of the driver, “since it can see in all directions simultaneously and in wavelengths that go far beyond the human senses.”

It was so much technology that left a couple of Cuban grandparents blocked who were traveling in mid-November in a Tesla through Miami.

“Well, now we are really bad!”, the woman who occupied the front seat, next to the driver, was heard saying, who was looking at the vehicle's screen without understanding its messages very well.

In English with a strong Cuban accent, the grandmother transmitted the message from the Tesla's computer. "Driving and changing the server. Do not drive until complete it…; "So don't do anything!" she told who looked like her husband.

"Then what do I do? "I can't open the windows..." the man protested desperately, touching the screen and other car controls.

“Shit on La Tesla's mother!” she cut him off sharply, desperate at the situation that kept them trapped.
