Week 3 - Tesla autonomous cars

And just like that, Tesla has created a software upgrade to their popular Model S, thereby allowing users to download an update for autonomous driving.  It's not a free upgrade, but the $2,500 cost seems relatively reasonable when compared to the $75k asking price of the car itself. 
Apparently, it's not a perfect system.  It requires the lanes to be clearly marked, plus can be confused by bad weather.  However, being the first iteration, it will only be a matter of time before the next version is exponentially better than the first.
The next time you see a Tesla Model S on the highway, it could quite possibly be driving itself!
