Fail-passive autopilot: in case of failure, the aircraft stays in a controllable position and the pilot can take control of it to go around or finish landing. It is usually a dual-channel system. Fail-operational autopilot: in case of a failure below alert height, the approach, flare and landing can still be completed automatically.
Elon Musk first discussed the Tesla Autopilot system publicly in 2013, noting that "Autopilot is a good thing to have in planes, and we should have it in cars." [ 11 ] Over the ensuing decade, Autopilot went through a series of hardware and software enhancements, gradually approaching the goal of full autonomy, which, as of January 2025 [update ...
Tesla Autopilot, an advanced driver-assistance system for Tesla vehicles, uses a suite of sensors and an onboard computer. It has undergone several hardware changes and versions since 2014, most notably moving to an all-camera-based system by 2023, in contrast with ADAS from other companies, which include radar and sometimes lidar sensors.
It closed the probe without seeking a recall, but criticized the way Tesla marketed Autopilot. Tesla's monitoring system measured hands on the steering wheel, but some drivers found it easy to ...
A takeoff/go-around switch (TO/GA; / ˈ t oʊ ɡ ə /) is a switch on the autothrottle of modern large aircraft, with two modes: takeoff (TO) and go-around (GA). The mode is dependent on the phase of flight; usually, on approach to land, the autopilot will be set to approach mode, therefore if the TO/GA switch is pressed it will activate the go-around mode of the autothrottle (about 90–92% ...
The control panel for the Minneapolis-Honeywell C-1 gyroscopic autopilot, used on B-24 bombers. The gyroscopic autopilot was a type of autopilot system developed primarily for aviation uses in the early 20th century. Since then, the principles of this autopilot has been the basis of many different aircraft control systems, both military and ...
One Autopilot worker described what it's like to work on the team. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with a Tesla employee who spoke anonymously to protect their privacy.
As CNBC previously reported, with the “Elon mode” configuration enabled, Tesla can allow a driver to use the company’s Autopilot, FSD or FSD Beta systems without the so-called “nag.”
