Tesla warrants two entrances on our list , as befits its prime status in the self-driving field . It believes an approach based on advanced AI for vision and planning , supported by efficient use of inference hardware , is the only way to achieve a general solution to full selfdriving . Like the Model S , on which it was developed , the mid-size X model is packed with all sorts of tech gadgetry including ultrasonic sensors , forward-facing radar and 360-degree cameras , and it can power from 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds , around half that of the Tesla Model S P100D . Let ’ s not forget the fuel economy either – an alluring £ 0.04 per mile . aimagazine . com
