This is despite the fact that only last week. The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board expressed grave reservations about the program’s safety. Instead of allowing access to the software, Tesla will grade a motorist based on their “safety score”. The “safety score” will be calculate using five criteria that predict “the risk that your driving may result in a future collision,” according to a page on Tesla’s website.
Data collected by sensors on the driver’s Tesla has used to calculate the score. Which includes the number of forward collision warnings received per 1,000 miles driven, hard braking, aggressive turning, unsafe following, and Autopilot disengagement that has forced by the driver’s actions or inaction. After three visible and audible warnings, the Autopilot feature in a Tesla vehicle disengages. “when your Tesla vehicle determines that you have taken your hands from the steering wheel and have become inattentive,” according to the safety score guide.
