Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles have seen a great deal of success in recent years
The CEO of Tesla recently announced that a new software update for their autopilot driving system would allow for the cars to detect potholes.
Musk said that this new technology uses micro maps, allowing the vehicles to "see" future potholes, enabling them to adjust their suspension accordingly so as not to cause any damage.
This could potentially be a huge breakthrough in safety and will go a long way towards preventing accidents due to rough roads.
Elon Musk has made it clear that he wants Tesla vehicles with autopilot capabilities to be safe and reliable
this new update is an indication of his commitment towards achieving that goal.
The updated Tesla Cybertruck prototype features the latest software update that enables it to detect and avoid potholes.
The many sensors on the car provide it with a 360-degree view of its environment
this new functionality helps the car identify potholes in its path, allowing it to adjust suspension accordingly.
The suspension also helps absorb some of the impact from hitting a pothole, which reduces damage to tires and other components.
This update has been welcomed by many Tesla owners as well as Teslarati, as it will help preserve their cars for longer periods of time.
This is especially useful for those who are using their vehicles in cities where there are plenty of potholes around every corner.
