It’s for added safety factor at high speeds (150mph).
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoHuh, TIL Tesla Autopilot only works at speeds below 50 mph. I thought it was mainly for highway driving, but highways are more like 60-100 mph. I assumed it worked at highway speeds. What gives?
- reissbaker 8y agoWhat? Where did you read this? I have a Model 3 and Autopilot works at regular highway speeds (65+ mph). I use it for highway driving all the time.
- flukus 8y agoConsidering the elevator bottleneck at the end I don't think theoretical speeds are that important anyway.
- fossuser 8y agoIt works at highway speeds (though the max you can set it to is 90mph). I think if you're going faster than 90 it may hold that speed, but it won't accelerate above 90 on its own.
- codeulike 8y agoTYDL because you are wrong.
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoMy mistake, I had to search for the max Autosteer speed and Google gave me an old article. Seems they have been upgrading steadily from 45 mph in January 2017 to (currently) 90 mph? But then my original question remains: why do they need guide wheels for this, when they can do 90 mph without them on normal roads?
- lawlessone 8y ago>why do they need guide wheels for this, when they can do 90 mph without them on normal roads? The tunnel in the article is very narrow. Imagine trying to drive at 90mph through a car wash without touching the sides.

- zwily 8y agoEven that’s wrong. My S would do autopilot to 90 mph in 2016.

- zwily 8y agoAh, that's HW2 cars. The original autopilot cars were already going up to 90.
- kwhitefoot 8y agoMy 2015 S 70D Autosteer works between 30 kph and 150 kph, roughly 20 mph to 90 mph.
