Tesla's Auto-Driving Cars
Soon, your Tesla will drive you wherever you want.
All Tesla vehicles are built with the hardware necessary for full self-driving capability, including eight cameras and a computer that sees and hears in all directions. Elon Musk recently confirmed on Twitter that near-future Tesla models will be able to drive you wherever you want, before you even tell it to do so. For example, your car will know that you go leave for work at 7am every morning, and it will handle the rest.
The Nissan Canto Sings To You
“An important element of Nissan Intelligent Mobility is how the vehicle integrates with society, and a crucial component of that is sound,” said Nissan electric cars vice president Daniele Schillaci.
It’s Nissan’s way of adding a distinctive brand ID to how its EVs sound in the city, as well as giving the safety benefit of an audible alert sound for otherwise silent-running EVs. It won’t be too loud or annoying, either: Nissan promises us it will be clearly audible “without being overly disturbing to pedestrians, residents and passengers”.

All eyes on Amazon for news on upcoming air dates.
