'This car is nuts': Tesla breaks barriers with its new auto-pilot electric car

Tesla owner Elon Musk unveiled the newest development from the luxury electric car manufacturer on Friday: An all-wheel-drive version of its Model S that includes self-driving features called “auto pilot.” Musk said that the Tesla all-wheel-drive variant is more efficient than a conventional AWD system. The cars will have a top speed of 155 mph, and can go from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.

This car is nuts. It’s like taking off from a carrier deck.

The Model S will steer itself back if it wanders from its lane and brake automatically if it is about to hit something. Those features are offered on luxury competitors, as well as mainstream brands such as Ford, Hyundai and Toyota. But Tesla has taken it’s self-driving tech a step further: The new system will move the car over a lane when the driver uses the turn signal and use cameras to read speed limit signs and decelerate accordingly. Volvo has a system that reads signs and alert drivers if they are over the limit, but does not change the speed.
