If we are to trust what Elon Musk says, it’s not long now until the first fully self-driving technology for the masses hits the roads. Sometime next year, powered by the Tesla's new Autopilot hardware, we should be seeing cars driving around by themselves, provided of course some piece of legislation doesn't stop them.
The new hardware, dubbed 3.0, was shown for the first time in April as the most advanced in the world, thanks to “objectively the best chip in the world.”
And here the technology is, in all its glory, thanks to a Twitter user by the name of green.
The above photo supposedly shows Hardware 3.0 in more detail than ever before, but there’s no mention on how the guy managed to snap the photo.
“So to celebrate my door working again I wonder is I should uncork something special,” green says in his tweet. It seems that before posting this photo, the guy discovered a problem with the car’s driver side door.
According to available information, the new hardware is already installed in Model S and Model X manufactured after March 20 and in Model 3 cars produced after April 12.
It’s unclear when the full potential of the technology will be unleashed, despite Musk’s optimism. When it presented the new computer, Tesla said it comes with 21 times faster frame per second processing power compared to the previous generation, meaning 2,300 frames per seconds and 144 trillion operations per second.
The Autopilot hardware system used until now was first offered on the Model S in 2014 and has shown both extraordinary capabilities and unpredictable shortcoming since its introduction.
In late 2018, Euro NCAP declared the system as a poorly understood and advertised one, that can lead to people trusting their lives to the car for no good reason.
3.0 is supposed to be a significant technological breakthrough.
