The moon is identified as a “yellow sign”

Do you have a Tesla? As we know, the field of autonomous driving has yet to develop. Elon Musk himself has already recognized the complexity and challenges, because there are many variables involved.

Last week, a user posted on Twitter something “strange” that happened while his Tesla was on autopilot. Watch the video.

Jordan Nelson was driving on a highway in North Carolina, USA, when he discovered that his Tesla had temporarily slowed down after mistaking the moon for a yellow traffic light.

The flaw was recorded and later tweeted by Nelson. In the publication, Jordan Nelson identified Elon Musk, but he did not react to the information in any way.

Despite what happened, the Tesla vehicle subsequently maintained a constant speed as AutoPilot brakes or decelerates only if it detects another vehicle or someone in front of it. It should be noted that from 2020, Tesla's autopilot can interpret traffic signals and STOP signals.

This "flaw" should be corrected in the next system update with the release of Tesla Vision. This update is expected to be released in the coming months.

The company recently reported record profits of around $ 1 billion. According to the latest data, the company's quarterly profit in the automotive segment reached $ 1.1 billion (€ 932 million) for the first time. The accounts are done, now Tesla has made a profit 10 times more than recorded in the homologous period. Tesla now has a market value of about $ 630 billion (€ 534 billion), 14 times more than just two years ago.
