Tesla might have not talked much about the self drive feature at the Model X launch owing to reasons best known to them, but the leaked screenshots of the firmware 7.0 will add features like automatic lane changing and self-parallel parking, which are the same features due for the current Model S.
The gullwing doors will not only make a comeback with the Model X but the doors will also be fully automated and the user would be given access to a hydraulic height adjustment system which would let them choose the height based on the road conditions and the driving style. The doors are actuated independently and they calculate the arc based on the space available, the company claims that the door can open even in the tightest of the spaces. The best part of the Tesla updates is that it can downloaded Over The Air by Wi-Fi, 3G or LTE just like how we do with our phones.
Tesla is primarily an energy storage company and this gives the company leeway to venture into new arena, something the traditional car manufacturers are desperately trying to do. That being said, it is apparent that most of the manufacturers are gearing up to gain the edge when it comes to the automobile tech warfare and this development is sure to bring about a change in how we perceive the automobiles. Automobiles until recently were something predominantly mechanical but with the onslaught of the new features which are electronically controlled the automobiles are more of an amalgamation of technology and mechanical machinery.
