Tesla vehicles will be able to identify potholes and avoid "stepping on potholes"

According to foreign media teslarati, on February 4, US time, Musk replied to netizens on personal Twitter that Tesla's car will provide miniature maps with road potholes in the future by updating, and car owners can avoid potholes on the road through miniature maps.

In fact, for Tesla owners, potholes on the road are a very headache for them. Potholes in the road surface may damage tires and wheels. Once there is a problem, the owner needs to spend thousands of dollars for maintenance.

After Tesla introduced this function, it will effectively alleviate this situation. Tesla will identify potholes on the road through different textures, and can also share potholes on the road with other Tesla cars on the same road.

1. Tesla will launch a miniature map? Vehicles can accurately identify road potholes.

A few days ago, a Tesla owner from Switzerland, Reto? Siegrist asked Musk on Twitter: "Can Tesla add a miniature map with information about road potholes?" Musk gave a positive answer to this question.

When Tesla fully introduces this function, it will effectively improve driving safety and save a lot of maintenance costs.

In fact, potholes have a great influence on car owners at present, and potholes may damage tires and wheels. Once there is a problem, the owner needs to spend thousands of dollars for maintenance.

Catherine, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs and International Relations of American Automobile Association? Bauer said that due to the existence of potholes, vehicles may be damaged, potholes will also cause fuel waste, and the transportation costs of American people will rise every year because of potholes.

TRIP, a national transportation research non-profit organization in the United States, once said that about one-third of the major urban roads in the United States do not meet the standards. Driving under such road conditions, American car owners have lost about $654.38+03 billion (about RMB 965.438+03 billion).

Tesla also noticed this problem. Musk said before that he would launch the anti-pothole function. He said that in the future, Tesla cars can automatically avoid potholes on the road after turning on the automatic driving function.

This time, Musk announced the launch of the * * * mini map, which will supplement the anti-pothole function.

Second, Tesla can identify road potholes by texture.

In fact, it is very difficult to detect road potholes.

Pits are different from other obstacles. The pothole itself is just above the road surface, and there will be deviations according to different weather and lighting conditions. In an ideal situation, Tesla can compare the texture inside the pothole with the surrounding roads through the camera on the car to determine the pothole.

Vehicles can detect road potholes and share them with other Tesla vehicles, which will improve the safety level of vehicles on the road.

The potholes on the road can be identified only by the camera, which is inseparable from Tesla's achievements in road image recognition. Tesla's autopilot adopts the scheme of camera and radar, which is very useful in road image recognition.

Musk said that the eight cameras on Tesla vehicles can collect and label road information at the same time, which is very efficient.

Despite this, Musk also hopes that Tesla's autonomous driving technology can be further improved. He said that an AI party will be held in his home in a few weeks, hoping that more talents can join Tesla and develop more useful functions.

Conclusion: Tesla will eliminate the hidden danger of cheating.

The potholes on the road will have a great influence on the moving cars. If the car is driving at a high speed, the potholes on the ground may make the car lose its direction, hit other cars, or even overturn. Even if they drive at a low speed, the tires and wheels of the car may be damaged.

Tesla also noticed this problem. Tesla is about to launch a miniature map, which can mark potholes on the map, so that car owners can avoid these potholes accurately and reduce unnecessary losses.

Being able to analyze road conditions in real time will also promote Tesla's autonomous driving technology and effectively improve the safety of Tesla's autonomous driving.
