Austin Treu-LookingOutwards-01

I am fascinated by Elon Musk’s work with his teams at both SpaceX and Tesla, particularly the work of incorporating Autopilot into Tesla cars. The design of the car has to be perfectly optimized and armed with enough sensors so that the passengers and others around the car are safe. While it is still a work in progress, just the fact that the car has the ability to make such calculated decisions while driving is incredible. The future with this sort of technology is wide open. As it improves, people will gradually be able to take their focus off of the road and use their time during travel to work or relax, really the possibilities are endless! Another interesting design  element of Tesla cars is their battery pack and motors being located underneath the car, meaning that the passengers can have more space inside the car for themselves and their belongings. Every bit of software and hardware involved in these cars is built by Tesla from the ground up, to my knowledge.
