  1. Autopilot and Self Driving Mode
    • Tesla has created a software that enables autopilot mode and self driving in all its Tesla cars.
    • With the inclusive of such softwares and systems, it reduces manual task of the drivers hence improving safety and convenience.
    • This IoT system also helps driver by taking over control of the car to prevent an accident.

    Great explanation of what IoTs Tesla has and how beneficial it is to the users. A suggestion for improvement is to add in a few disadvantages like how Autopilot and Self Driving Mode may be dangerous as I have seen reports that there are accidents due to it. Here is a link to the report: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/06/15/tesla-autopilot-crashes/
    Overall, great work with the pictures and information, keep up the good work!
