As expected and announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Tesla has unveiled a “Beta” version of its improved autopilot, also described by the company’s CEO as a profoundly changed and rewritten version that will make a quantum leap
Here is the upgrade note present on each car after upgrading. It shows the transition to the Beta and some additional information.
Tesla has for once allowed the testers to publish some photos and videos on social networks. It turns out that this rewrite is a real breakthrough in Tesla’s autopilot software. Indeed this one seems on the first images, to visualize much better its environment and the graphic representation starts to be impressive
However, at the moment we do not have all the information concerning the colour code used and the meaning of each element. This version appears as a Beta which cannot be used by anyone. It requires serious monitoring and will allow Tesla to retrieve a large amount of information more quickly and extensively.
What’s you’re seeing here is Tesla instantly mapping roads with cameras
