Tesla is all geared up to launch Version 7 software upgrade for its cars.
Tesla Motors Inc. is all set to win the heart of investors by coming up with a software upgrade. The firm has announced that they are all set to launch its Over the Tair, Version 7 software upgrade this week. The software update will cater to self-steering option. The message was posted by Mr. Elon Musk, the chief executive officer of the company on social media platform Twitter/ this feature will be unveiled all over the globe on the coming Thursday.
Mr. Elon Musk had announced earlier that the latest feature will not allow the car to steer on its own completely while on the roads but will helps drivers whilst driving on wider motorway roads. The company electric carshave now been equipped with 17 inches dashboard screens which are the largest in the automotive sector. The dashboard is also likely to feature an upgrade soon. Moreover, parallel parking will also be supported by the recent upgrade. The auto pilot features are not as advanced as many customers expected thus the automotive giant still needs some more time to come up with advanced features. So soon we might also see users getting out of Tesla cars where the vehicles park on its own.
As reported by Mr. Elon Musk, the features of this nature are expected to be launched later when the version 7.1 is released. So far the launch date of version 7.1 has not been released. It is also speculated that the upcoming upgrade will allow the cars to reach the destination by merely calling them.
Model X and all Model S will support the auto-steering functionality. The advanced sensory systems are also supported in these vehicles where 12 sensors are installed in the bottom along with a front camera. Also, another sensor will be responsible to gauge the speed of other cars closer to the vehicle. The company at this point of time is modifying its sensory technology so that they can support various autonomous features in the times to come. This is relatively different from Google who is currently only concerned about manufacturing full autonomous cars.
The Version 7 update was announced earlier in March 2015 when the automotive company was launching Version 6.0 software that was targeting the range anxiety related issues. The idea was to penetrate electric cars among other car users since battery charging made consumers skeptical.
Hence the new upgrade is expected to get traction to the company and will also create anticipation for the future.
