Tesla Autopilot starts giving right of way lane changes (video)

The Tesla community recently welcomed yet another upgrade to its Autopilot driver-assist system, with vehicles currently being able to warn drivers if they’re about to run a red light. Tesla owners also have noticed that Autopilot appears to be learning how to give right of way to other vehicles which are changing lanes on the highway.

Observations in the community and a video shared by Model 3 owner u/privaterbok of the r/TeslaMotors subreddit depict the electric sedan’s Autopilot system slowing down the vehicle even before the other car merged into the Tesla’s lane. Curiously, the merging vehicle was labeled with a darker shade of gray in the Model 3’s center display, indicating that Autopilot was specifically reacting to the car.

It should be noted that the vehicle in the movie is not even equipped with Tesla’s newest software. The Model 3 owner noted that the vehicle was equipped with 2019.5.15, a version of Tesla’s applications that was rolled out roughly two weeks ago. Tesla just released 2019.8.3 to a members of its fleet more recently, and the upgrade included a few new tricks of its own. Nonetheless, the observations of the Model 3 owner do give the impression that Tesla is actively improving its Autopilot capabilities.

One of the tricks included from the recent 2019.8.3 upgrade is dubbed as “Autosteer Stop Light Warning,” which is intended to help drivers determine if they’re about to run a red light. Tesla’s release notes for the feature are as follows: “Your car may warn you in certain cases if it finds that you are about to run a red light while Autosteer is in use. This is not a replacement for an attentive driver and will not stop the car. ” If Elon Musk’s tweet last December is any indication, Autopilot’s ability to detect stop signs and roundabouts might follow soon.

Already testing traffic lights, stop signs & roundabouts in growth software. Your Tesla will soon be able to go out of your garage at home to parking at work with no driver input in any way.

This improvement will likely be useful for numerous Tesla owners, especially as the company has listed Stop Light Warning under Autosteer’s features. Autosteer, which used to be part of Enhanced Autopilot, is currently being sold by Tesla as part of fundamental Autopilot, which the company sells for $3,000 ($4,000 after delivery). With Stop Light Warnings being included in fundamental Autopilot, Tesla is all but ensuring that most of its clients will be able to benefit from the security feature in the long run.

Tesla definitely appears determined to ramp its efforts in developing its Full Self-Driving package and improving its Autopilot driver-assist system this season. Just recently, Elon Musk announced that no-confirmation Navigate on Autopilot and Enhanced Summon have started rolling out to the first batch of electric car owners. Inventory codes also indicate that Tesla seems to be shipping some of its vehicles with Hardware 3, a custom-built solution developed by Tesla which is specifically designed to usher in Full Self-Driving capabilities.
