a Tesla owner asked Musk on his personal social media twitter a few days ago whether Tesla could increase the maximum speed limit of electric vehicles with pure visual automatic driving scheme from 80 miles per hour to 85 or 90 miles per hour. Musk replied, "soon." p> < p > in 2021, Tesla began to gradually transition its electric vehicles to Tesla vision driving assistance system based entirely on cameras. This means that Tesla electric vehicles are no longer equipped with on-board radar, and only rely on camera image and neural network processing to realize the active safety functions promised by autopilot, FSD and other advanced driving assistance systems p> < p > however, Tesla limits the maximum driving speed of the pure visual driving assistance system to 75 miles per hour (about 120 kilometers), and the following distance is the length of three parking spaces. Two months later, Tesla increased the maximum driving speed of the pure visual driving assistance system to 80 miles per hour and reduced the following distance to the length of two parking spaces. At the same time, it also reintroduces the functions of pure visual driving assistance systems such as intelligent call and emergency lane departure avoidance p> < p > the fly in the ointment is that Tesla electric vehicles equipped with on-board radar can activate the radar sensor and let the electric vehicles controlled by autopilot system drive at the top speed limit of 90 miles per hour p> < p > according to Musk's latest statement, Tesla may soon increase the maximum speed limit of the pure visual driving assistance system p> < autopilot > will provide users with a better visual driving experience. However, the following distance of electric vehicles with pure vision scheme is still less than that of electric vehicles equipped with on-board radar. At present, the following distance of Tesla pure vision electric vehicle can be set to two parking spaces, while the following distance of electric vehicle equipped with radar can be set to one parking space p> < p > Tesla's choice to remove the on-board radar from the driving assistance system has attracted a lot of criticism. However, the driving data show that the pure vision autopilot system performs equally well compared with the system based on on on-board radar and camera p> < p > it should be noted that musk has said in the past that many other functions are "coming soon". Tesla has no definite time to improve the maximum speed limit of pure visual driving assistance system. This update may take weeks, months or more p> < p > however, this news indicates that Tesla's confidence in pure vision driving assistance system has increased. (Chen Chen) < / P > < p >
