Tesla Motors believes that George "geohot" Hotz's driverless car could not prove to be effective.
Tesla Motors is well known for conflicting with publications that have claimed that its technologies are not very efficient. Now, the Californian enterprise has responded to George “geohot” Hotz and Bloomberg Business.
George “geohot” Hotz is the engineering expert who became the first individual to hack Playstation 3 and iPhone. Yesterday, Bloomberg posted an interview that demonstrated George’s latest venture, a driverless vehicle kit that could be retrofitted into current automobiles. During the course of the news article, the inventor challenged Tesla’s own autopilot hardware, which was able to raise the ire of the automotive organization’s CEO Elon Musk.
George criticized Mobileye, the enterprise that is known for supplying the South African born entrepreneur’s enterprise and other vehicle manufacturers with essential gear for driverless vehicles. As far as Hotz was concerned, Tesla’s technology was old-fashioned compared to what he has pioneered in his garage with off-the-shelf parts. He demonstrated some remarkable success, and the included chip demonstrates his Honda Acura driving itself along a highway in San Francisco.
In times to come, George is planning to make his alternative perform better than Tesla’s vehicle along Interstate 405, but there is no word on when would that be done. The company has responded by posting a rebuttal to the news article on its blog, stating that the descriptions of its own driverless system and Mobileye are wrong.
In the necessary legalese, the post states Bloomberg "did not correctly represent Tesla or Mobileye." The corporation also acknowledged that the perspective that it just packs the Mobileye’s technology and installs it to Tesla Model S is not true. Instead, a driverless technology is a product of many components and tons of researches that have resulted in a “groundbreaking experience."
Apart from this, Tesla doubts that a “single person or even a small company" would pioneer an autonomous setup ready for production. Its response continued with the advice that George’s system would effectively perform on a "known stretch of road -- Tesla had such a system two years ago," but that will not be able to deal with all the hardships of driving.
The organization has signed off by indicating that George’s technology will not be secure enough to be installed into an automobile, since succeeding 99% of the time is not excellent if the mistake is done at 70mph.
Of course, there is a larger story going beyond the conflict between two names of the Silicon Valley. This is because Elon Musk has failed to maintain good relations with Bloomberg story’s author Ashley Vance and George Hotz. George was previously holding talks to join the corporation to help in manufacturing its driverless technology and in recent times, Ashlee authored SpaceX CEO’s biography that failed to paint him in pleasant light.
