This article explains how Tesla's driver-assist feature, Autopilot, can detect and stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.
The car is due to come equipped with a semi-autonomous autopiloting system that will allow it to partially self-drive.
This system, designed by Tesla, uses the same Autopilot function found in other Tesla vehicles.
The Tesla Semi can detect vehicles and pedestrians in its vicinity through its Enhanced Autopilot function, which is similar to that found on the Model X cars.
This assists the driver with maintaining their lane and avoiding forward collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.
The Tesla Semi is also equipped with emergency braking systems that can detect cars, pedestrians and other objects.
This gives it the ability to detect both vehicles and pedestrians, making it an invaluable asset for drivers.
It also has systems in place to alert drivers of potential dangers on the road ahead.
Tesla's vision system uses a combination of camera, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to detect cars and other objects in the driver’s surroundings.
Recent Tesla firmware updates have even enabled the car to detect emergency vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances.
The system can automatically apply emergency braking when an emergency vehicle is detected ahead.
In addition to this, Tesla's Automatic Emergency Braking feature helps detect pedestrians and people who may be in danger of being hit by the car.
The feature also warns drivers of any coming emergency vehicles that are displayed on the car's screen.
This allows drivers to react quickly if an emergency situation arises.
