A few months ago the car manufacturer Tesla released an update to its software that allowed self-driving driving where user interaction was essential on many occasions. But self-piloted driving it was the first step in being able to offer fully autonomous driving, driving in which the company has been working in recent months and to see how it works, Tesla has posted on its website a video, with the music of the Benny Hill Show, in which we can see how a Tesla makes a journey completely without user intervention.

But what it really calls, besides seeing how the vehicle drives completely autonomously without user intervention, are the three cameras that this function uses and in which the entire environment surrounding the vehicle is detected and in which all objects that may be a danger to driving are identified. As we can see in the image that heads this article and in the attached video, this vehicle has three cameras: one front and two rear that point to the sides.
These cameras have sensors that detect the type of obstacle and identify it in different colors. The lane lines are colored pink, purple is used for traffic signals, vehicles and pedestrians and vehicles are marked with a blue square while green are objects that the vehicle has to avoid. If we want to see what each of the colors means, at the bottom of the video we find a legend that will help us identify all the objects that Tesla's autonomous driving in version 2.0 is on the way.
It is clear that every time it is closer the possibility that we get in the car as if it were a taxi and let's tell him where we want to go, without having to interact with him at any time, since as we see in the ad, he is also capable of parking himself, although this function has been available for a longer time.
