With its latest update (7.0) will combine Tesla adaptive cruise control and filhållaren a new function. The car will be partially self-driving, or Tesla says it has an autopilot.
All Tesla cars that are newer than a year has just been updated automatically. It turns out that using the car signals with a small symbol on the instrument panel when it is ready to take over the driving.
By pulling the cruise control lever twice against itself activates the function, and can release the steering wheel. And vehicle control yourself.
Two lines of the instrument panel shows the car’s cam looks lane markers on the road and the image of the rear of a car show that radar has an eye on the car ahead.
When new technology test pilot onto the highway towards Arlanda works on a bell. The car behaves just like when Esben Pedersen, Tesla communications manager for the Nordic region, showed how the pilot worked.

Despite this I am sitting on tenterhooks with his hands two millimeters from the steering wheel almost all the time. Now and then ask the car me to lay hands on the wheel to ensure that I, unlike some in some youtube videos, still in the driver’s seat. Sensitive pressure sensors before the steering wheel leather feel of my hands already light touch.
The autopilot can also change the file in some situations. It then sets only the turn signals and taking it easy in the steering wheel, so the car slides over to the next file and will accelerate to the selected speed. Blinkers must then be turned off manually, which feels a bit unnecessary. It could well have passed by yourself.
The lane departure function worked about half of the trials during the test. Several times, gave the place up and turned off the autopilot.
Tesla is careful to mention that the autopilot does not relieve the driver responsibility for the run and that one must be prepared at short notice to take over the command. But to sit with hands ready just at the wheel in order to take over the whole time is much more tiring than just driving yourself.
In practice, I regard it as quickly get used to what the car is capable of and adjust their expectations accordingly.
When I left the highway becomes much more complicated. The autopilot does not take account of either the traffic lights, junctions, traffic islands, road works or vehicles behave abnormal in any way. Here I have no use of the autopilot at all.
But on the road with clearly marked function again. Especially in combination with a vehicle ahead appears autopilot it easier to find the way, even if the show milder signs fill driving.

The car sways slightly and in several sharp right curves slides over the oncoming lane for a while before it finds the back. Totally unacceptable, of course, if one may encounter. But really nasty gets there first at a distance with completely newly laid road with freshly painted markings.
Here sway the car a lot between the center line and side mark. At 70 km / h staggers suddenly out a few inches off the side line and a bit of the deck coming out of the rubble in the shoulder.
It slams to. While talking a red message on the dashboard to me that the tire pressure is 0.0 bar. With good steering ability slows me down and end the test on a small access road.
On the way back stop autopilot behind another car at a stoplight . When it stops because the car in front starts the well itself when the car in front starts. But before it turned to green creeps Teslan several times closer to the car in front, which it will suddenly that it would be a little closer. Or just automatic baiting little. Ny Teknik’s reporter sat in all cases, on the alert, ready with the foot just above the brake pedal. You do not want them there over 700 horsepower to suddenly come because they want to drive straight into the car in front.
Tesla autopilot are made best on the motorway. In other situations, uncertainty and contingency resulting from a much greater effort than just driving the car yourself.
