Amazing Viral Clip Shows How Tesla Cars "See" Vehicle Traffic On Road

Ever wondered how Tesla's self-driving software assesses other vehicles and objects in its vicinity? In a clip shared by a Twitter user, you can see Tesla's self-driving software in action.

Vehicles, including bicycles appear and disappear on the screen as the user compares the software's results to what is simultaneously happening on the road ahead of the electric vehicle. Needless to say, the result was a very convincing clip about Tesla's software which has been at the centre of controversy lately.

On top of that, users may choose to purchase FSD or full self-driving software for $10,000 single fee or a $199 per month subscription. With this, Tesla cars can change lanes, enter and exit highways, recognise traffic lights and stop signs, with the additional ability to park autonomously. Of course, even then, it requires the full attention of the driver.

Regardless, the clip does show a promising sneak-peek into what Tesla can do. The company claims that eventually its cars would be completely autonomous. In the meantime, we can simply hope for the best, especially for markets like India where road traffic runs on mayhem more than fuel.
