Driving cars as we know it today may be on the verge of its end. Autonomous driving systems are constantly improving, and thanks to the fact that they are receiving the green light from more and more countries, more and more users can try out their qualities. From next week, Czechs will also be able to join them, as Tesla is starting test drives for ordinary users in our country, in which they will be driven in the passenger seat of an autonomously driven car. And since everything is of course free, practically everyone can enjoy this unique experience, which is really tempting in my opinion. MiniSo, technology fans should not delay their reservations.

What is also interesting is that you can take up to 3 other people with you and that you can choose the preferred car in which you would like to ride when booking. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will ride in it. 100%, but if the seller is able to make it happen, he will definitely use the car.
Whether autonomous driving will become more widespread in the foreseeable future is, of course, something we can only guess at, because it will depend extremely on how much automakers will charge for it as an optional extra and on which cars this option will be available in terms of price. However, if autonomous driving can be introduced into cheaper cars in the future, then I dare say that it would be an extreme simplification of everyday life. Personally, I cannot imagine using autopilot all the time, but miniAt least on the roads that I drive very often, de facto "on human autopilot", entrusting the driving to the car itself would definitely make sense for me, whether for the sake of rest or the possibility of working while driving.

In the US it is $99 per month, in the EU you can expect 99 euro. In our country, maybe 2499 crowns per month. Now the question is how many people will want to pay 2,5 thousand per month for a personal driver who they have to check to see if he makes a mistake. The responsibility is still on the driver, it is still LEVEL 2 autonomy, so the car company is not liable for anything. For normal driving up to 30-40 km a day, it doesn't make much sense to me. I would rather do it myself than pay 2,5 thousand. Maybe for a summer vacation, if I drive somewhere 1000 km and 1000 km back, I would pay the 2,5 thousand in one go, so that the car will look after me during long driving times, or rather I would look after it :)
