NEW TESLA AUTOPILOT AUTONOMOUS CAR MODEL S P85/P90D UPGRADE TEST RIDE REAL ROAD & MOTORWAY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an in-depth look at Tesla's Autopilot system, primarily tested on a Model S P90D. The system is lauded for its impressive capabilities, particularly its smooth operation on highways and its ability to handle city driving, including pedestrian detection and lane positioning, albeit with a strong emphasis on the driver's need to remain attentive. The reviewer highlights the system's smooth lane changes and adaptive cruise control as significant advancements. While praising the Model S's overall driving dynamics, including its sporty yet comfortable ride thanks to air suspension, and its high-class interior, the reviewer notes that the insane acceleration can be overwhelming, suggesting the P90D might be too extreme for some. The ability to update the Autopilot software is seen as a progressive move by Tesla. The reviewer concludes that the Autopilot is the best they have experienced, placing the Model S years ahead of competitors, though acknowledges that human brains are still superior in complex city scenarios. Seat comfort for long trips is noted as a minor drawback.
