Received the download today of the first version of Tesla’s self driving software. It really works! The darn car navigates to a destination with only the driver only obligation is to stay alert and watch if the system is about to make a mistake. If the driver is distracted or looking at an iPhone- the system warns you and if no response from the driver will pull over and give you one strike. Each driver only gets five strikes and with the sixth you lose your self driving software. Not sure how you get out of Tesla jail yet.. all this is new as of today. This new system is truly a significant event in motoring history on par with the advent of the automatic transmission.

The reality is every other car on the road is instantly dated and is simply - “dumb”. The software will continue to get better and better.

Tesla will make billions licensing this system to all the other car companies in the world. All done with cameras - much the same way we navigate the road and obstacles - with our eyes. All the other systems being developed try to use censors instead of high resolution cameras all around every side of the car. Artificial intelligence is changing our lives and this is one of the first amazing positive benefits of this artficial intelligence.
