Tesla Ups Regen Braking with New Model Y Juniper Refresh
The new Model Y Juniper refresh features a redesigned braking system that uses AI to control the brake pedal and maximize regen braking, resulting in improved efficiency and longer range on a charge. One of the key innovations is the use of FSD AI to control one master brake cylinder, allowing for smoother and more efficient deceleration when driving in Autopilot mode. The updated system also introduces new regen braking modes, including Reduced Deceleration, which adjusts how quickly the vehicle slows down when the accelerator pedal is released.
- This technology upgrade highlights Tesla's ongoing efforts to optimize its vehicles for sustainable energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions, setting a precedent for the automotive industry as a whole.
- How will the widespread adoption of AI-controlled braking systems impact driver behavior and vehicle design in the future, potentially leading to new safety features and user experiences?
