Tesla Model S Autopilot test on UK roads

In October, Driving took to the M4 motorway in Berkshire to test Tesla's new Autopilot autonomous drive system, which is the first in the world to switch lanes without the driver touching the wheel.

This was made in the summer. You can see from the cloths he was wearing. Today the car recognizes the speed limit signs and adjusts accordingly. He deliberately showed you an older version to scare people off! That part about the blind spot and he jerking the car to save his life.

If the price of a journey in the UK is zero through using the sun, life will turn upside down in the UK. The tax on fuel is too high and they do not have a plane yet as to what to do when the government loses the income from taxing fuel!

If I buy a left side driver seat Tesla (in any European country) and travel to UK, will the car understand it has to drive staying in the opposite lane or not?

That shit is dangerous!!! NEVER would i drive that in London or in the UK. Roads are to narrow and the average speed is 20mph constant stop start

TBH self driving cars like tesla are not capable of British and French roads

Illegal to change 2 lanes at once anyway.

Why would you not redo the video? Also, I personally think the car is a joke. Why would you pay so much for a car that can only give you 100 mile range... When the car can give you real 300 miles with a one hour charge, then that might work.
