Tesla’s latest software update for second generation Autopilot vehicles (8.1.17.17.4) boosts the speed limit for Autosteer to 90 mph, on par with first generation capabilities.
According to the release notes:
- On highways: Autosteer and Traffic Aware Cruise Control have speed limits of 90 mph.
- Off highways: Autosteer is no longer restricted to 35 mph. Autosteer has a speed limit of 5 mph faster than the detected speed limit, unless you’ve specified a lower speed limit offset. If Model S does not detect a limit, then the maximum speed the vehicle can drive is 45 mph.
Other updates included Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High Beam, and enhancements to Side Collision Warnings.
