With Tesla cars sweeping across the united states, its not a surprise that they are evolving themselves with the IoT. Tesla has been able to attract a large amount of positive attention by releasing a very eye-catching car that can interact with the consumer. The new Tesla vehicles can respond to commands from the owner’s phone. if the car is parked next to a puddle, the owner can move the electric car forward as far as its needed. The vehicles are also always aware of what is going on around them while on the road. Rachelle Petusky, manager of Research & Market Intelligence, Cox Automotive Mobility Group said on Forbs “They’ve done a wonderful job at presenting themselves as the innovative leader of electric vehicles.” Tesla continues to do things to set them apart from other electric vehicle including the auto piolet function. Drivers can select a destination and then completely rely on the vehicle to get them to their destination safely. Tesla has also been aware of situations their users are in. During Hurricane Irma, they reprogrammed all Teslas’ in that area and gave them more range on their batteries to ensure they make it to safety. Forbs says, “Tesla was able to complete a mandated fix of charger plugs on more than 29,000 vehicles via a software update.” This was a big advantage for them since they saved a bunch of time for their customers. Tesla’s genius approach to their problems helps them stay in front of their competition.
