Software Engineering Article Evaluation:

The software engineering article is related to the the course because it is a kind of technological engineering. The information in the article is all relevant to the topic and there is not any distracting articles. All information seems up to date as it contains new information about software engineering in 2019. Most of the article seems well researched, however, I believe that the Education section should be updated to contain more information. Nothing in the article is biased and everything aside from the education seems like its represented evenly. The sources in the article all seem that they are representing what the article says and work, however, it seems as if it is missing some citations. They all seem as if they are neutral sources, aside from the controversy section, however, that is meant to show opposing viewpoints. Overall, the article is rated with a C class and it is part of many wiki projects around computer science topics. It seems as if on the talk page the same guy is making all of the corrections to fix it while asking people to discuss with them if they disagree.

Tesla designed autopilot mode not meant to be an alternative to driving. Autopilot keeps the vehicle in lane and an appropriate amount of space between the Tesla and the car in front of it. The car is not intended to be an alternative to driving. It was designed with the idea that the driver would be paying attention to the road to control the car if need be.

Edits to Tesla Inc.:

Elon Musk predicted electric Tesla vehicles would sell well in Japan, however, his prediction was off and the company did not sell as much as predicted. In 2020, there has been a decline in demand for electric Tesla vehicles in Europe, as well as China.

In 2019, Tesla's grossed 15 percent less than it did in 2018 in the US, making it the first time there has been a decline in revenue since 2014.

Tesla designed autopilot mode not meant to be an alternative to driving. Autopilot keeps the vehicle in lane and an appropriate amount of space between the Tesla and the car in front of it. The car is not intended to be an alternative to driving. It was designed with the idea that the driver would be paying attention to the road to control the car if need be.

The value of Tesla stock is now twice what it was at the beginning of 2020.

In March 2018, an Apple engineer had been killed in a crash in a Tesla Model X. Investigators say that the driver of the vehicle had his car in ‘self-driving’ mode and was using his phone to play games when the vehicle collided with the barrier in the middle of the freeway. Through investigation the National Transportation Safety Board found that the Tesla malfunctioned due to the system being confused by an exit on the freeway.

There will be three versions of Tesla’s Cybertruck. The most expensive and equipped Cybertruck will be able to travel 500 miles on a full charge as well as being able to travel a quarter mile in under 10 seconds and the ability to reach 60 miles per hour in approximately 2.9 seconds.

The Tesla Cybertruck is set to appear on the show Jay Leno’s Garage. The show will be entering its 5th season in May 2020 where the Cybertruck is going to be showcased.

On April 24th 2020, Tesla released an update for their autopilot system. The newest version of their software is able to stop at traffic lights. The Tesla will begin to slow down and stop at all visible traffic lights. As of now, a Tesla will not be allowed to turn at an intersection as Tesla believes their system is not ready to do so. Tesla drivers began to report that even at a green light, their car would slow down significantly. Tesla acknowledges that there are flaws in its operating system and continues to remind customers that it is still in a beta phase and still far from being finished.

Tesla is releasing a subscription package for their self-driving mode in their vehicles. In order to be more affordable to drivers, rather than paying all at once, Tesla is planning on having a subscription based payment system. On April 28th, 2020, a hacker revealed on Twitter that there is already code in Tesla’s app for the subscription plan.

Tesla’s Model 3 was the 8th best selling car in the first quarter of 2020 in the United States.
