Scientists have found that Tesla autopilot can prevent up to 90% of all accidents

German scientists conducted an independent study aimed at determining the effectiveness of

Tesla autopilot. As a result, it turned out that it can prevent up to 90% of all accidents.

In this regard, the researchers believe thatit is necessary to speed up the process of equipping Tesla sensors in cars of other manufacturers. The difficulty of this process is due to the fact that the functionality of the Tesla autopilot in Europe has its limitations due to the peculiarities of the legislation.

Director of the Center for Automotive Research atIn Duisburg, Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer noted that the regulation of conventional cars is not happening in the fastest way, while the number of accidents per kilometer driven has only increased over the past three years. In his opinion, the problem can be solved globally by integrating autopilot systems.

The researchers calculated that if all cars in Germany had the autopilots of the American company, this would reduce the number of accidents per year from 282 thousand to just 29 thousand.
