OUR Tesla announced that it will release a new update for its vehicles with adaptive suspension, which will allow them to automatically detect bad roads. This new feature will help vehicles adjust their suspension to avoid damage in potholes and other problems.

This feature becomes available mainly for autonomous driving technologies, which must be able to adapt to different scenarios and streets. Among the conditions that offline models can face, holes can be one of the hardest problems to overcome.

That’s why Tesla uses cars of its customers who have equipment autopilot identify these problems along the way by mapping the streets and training the company’s neural network to deal with them. This work has now characterizedTesla Adaptive Suspension”, which becomes available through a software update, helps cars adapt to problematic roads, improving not only the user experience, but also preventing damage to the car.

The novelty is part of a project announced by the company Elon Musk back in 2020 when the billionaire confirmed that his automaker creating a map where there are holes to avoid them in the future. O autopilot does not yet have this technology, but now we know that the company actually conducts an analysis of offenses.

In the description of the novelty, the company stated that Adaptive suspension adjusts the car to the bumps in the road.which can “occur in multiple locations, depending on availability, as the vehicle downloads raw roadmap data generated by Tesla vehicles.”

As stated earlier, this novelty will appear on cars Tesla with adaptive suspension technology, they Model C as well as Model X new generation. As indicated Elekthis novelty is an important step for the company’s autonomous driving technology, because one of the main problems with the technology today is that this feature still does not handle bad roads very well.
