Software Update Version 2019.8.3 “Autosteer Stop Light Warning” : teslamotors

So it looks like the initial releases of this are coming on the current hardware. Will be interesting to see what configs get it (EAP, FSD, Standard AP?)

Hmm. I’m on version 9 (early access) and didn’t see any mention of that feature.

Do you have FSD? I wonder if it is the first FSD release?

Absolutely 100% first FSD release. Achieves 2 things: early proof of concept AND Tesla can now “realize” all the FSD $$$ they collected (especially in the recent FSD “fire sale”) on their first quarter 2019 balance sheet to offset slower S and X sales

OMG every pedestrian should be aware of such feature!

This is a safety feature and as such will most likely be rolled out to all cars with the proper hardware. (AP 2.0)

Very cool.

...why?

The feature just throws up a warning if you're gonna run a light.

 

[Silicon Desert]

I've had that for a couple years. Whenever I am about to run a red light, a loud screeching scream comes from the front passenger seat !!!

 

[JeffK]

People on reddit are saying it doesn't actually work yet. I'd like to see a positive example.

Is this version for cars that aren't part of the early access program?

In any case the lack of a HUD means I'd likely miss an alert.

Nice try, but definitely not a base level safety feature. Already listed as a FSD feature.
A real safety feature would be the car analyzing your driving and disabling the steering wheel if you are a danger to other road users. I can just imagine the complaints about that

That's what Volvo is going to do.

Early access doesn’t mean what it says. In fact it’s late access in certain instances.

I am very happy to see this feature. I realize it is a beta feature and falls short of the full "traffic light recognition" feature but it's a good start. Once Tesla collects a ton of real world data from this feature, they will be able to go to the next step of having the car actually stop at the red light. But this is an important first step because the car has to first be able to correctly see the red light 100% of the time.

Yes. I did the FSD update for $2K.

I actually received an email to join the early release program about 3 or 4 months ago, but this was the first beta firmware version i’ve received since then.

I’ve typically gotten normal access. I was invited into the early access program a few months ago (not sure why). 2019.9.0 is the first version I’ve received as part of early access though.

I'm confused--what roads/highways am I currently 'allowed' to use EAP on that have stoplights??

Well, that is an interesting question. Maybe this technically only applies to when a limited access freeway ends and converts to a highway with stop lights?


Will be interesting to see the user manual update associated with this release. I am sure it will be full of “don’t use AP except on highways, but if you do choose to use it on city streets, we might still warn you about running red lights. Wink, wink”

That is pretty much what it says already.

Autosteer is intended for use only by a fully attentive driver on freeways and highways where access is limited by entry and exit ramps. If you choose to use Autosteer on residential roads, a road without a center divider, or a road where access is not limited, Autosteer may limit the maximum allowed cruising speed.
