Tesla cars will alert parents if their kids exceed speed limits or drive after 11 p.m.

Tesla A series of new ones have been included. Parental control features are designed for parents and guardians who share their car with teens.. These tools allow drivers to set personal restrictions and monitor vehicle usage, providing greater safety and peace of mind while driving.

The new options can be adjusted directly from the car’s screen, providing more convenient and intuitive control.

Tesla has introduced new parental control tools for its cars, designed to provide greater safety for teen drivers. The new features include:

• Speed ​​Limit: Those responsible for a teenager may set a specific speed for the youth to drive.
• Reduce acceleration: Sets acceleration to a softer setting for greater control.
• Security Features: Includes speed limit warnings, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. Teens cannot adjust these alerts.

Tesla cars are known for their full self-driving feature, known as Autopilot FSD (Full Self-Driving). This system combines artificial intelligence with a set of cameras located around the car. However, Autopilot FSD has been linked to several car accidents.

Of the more than 1,000 crashes Tesla reported to the NHTSA, The Wall Street Journal analyzed 222. Of those, 44 involved the vehicle suddenly swerving and 31 involved the car failing to stop or reverse.

Autopilot FSD uses cameras mounted on the front, rear and sides of the car to monitor traffic, other vehicles and road signs. These cameras allow the car to interpret its environment and, through machine learning, adjust its behaviour when Autopilot (active cruise control) or Full Self-Driving is activated.

but, Problems arise when the program encounters unknown obstacles that it has not been trained for.As Phil Koopman, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, explained to the media outlet.

Tesla, led by Elon Musk, insists that the exclusive use of cameras to detect obstacles is sufficient and that additional sensors such as radars are not required.

“Keep your hands on the wheel at all times and pay attention to road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists). Pay attention to the road at all times and always be ready to act immediately if necessary,” the Tesla Owner’s Manual urges.
