I get the value of warning the driver if they might run a red light. That would be an obvious safety feature. But does anyone feel like it would be better if the car displayed a traffic light icon on the screen to show the driver what AP sees? That way the driver could see on the screen if AP sees a red or green light. By doing this, we would get more direct confirmation if AP is doing a good job of seeing a red light. My "concern" with the current feature is that you'll only know if AP is correctly seeing a red light if you run through a red light which you can't do. So you'll never see the feature in action because you will naturally avoid ever being in a situation to need it.
Seems they really want to push this out. Installing an update over LTE here in AZ. Confirmed it was 8.3

I think there is probably some truth to this, even tho I also appreciate the feature itself. Recognizing revenue is a big deal for publicly traded companies.

I think you need to hold the card upside down, aligned with true north and tap the T, S, and A letters at the same time - that should start the summon.
I think you need at least two people to hold the card gently while saying "we summon ye Tesla spirits" or something like that.
This question got one 'like'. Does me answering with 'no' get me a dislike?

I am not sure "autosteer stop light warning" is intended as a basic safety feature. If it was, it would need to work when auto steer was not engaged since that is when it would be most useful to help drivers avoid running through red lights. It is also worth noting that when auto steer is engaged, your car won't run a red light if there is a car in front that correctly stops for the red light. The only time auto steer would run a red light is if you are using AP on a local road with no traffic in front of you and the light turns red. So the feature seems to be designed to help drivers who misuse AP on local roads by engaging AP and not paying attention when the light turns red and there is no car in front to cause TACC to slow down. This feature will warn the driver in those instances that AP is about to run a red light. Additionally, since the feature only works with auto steer engaged, it is likely a precursor to AP eventually stopping for the red light on its own.

Theres allot more at play here. Vehicles are allot smarter than everyone thinks. Dont know it this applies to this situation but some vehicles monitor eye movement and knows when your eyes leave the road. It detects if you are paying attention. Toyota first came out with this software years ago. This is also why allot of vehicles with auto braking dont always bake automatically. An ideal test would be at a controlled intersection with autopilot enabled with the driver looking away while someone safely controls the intersection. IE crossgaurd.

No it does not....
It currently only appears in the BETA 9 version for what I understand...

Model 3's have a driver facing camera so in theory, they could do drowsiness detection with the right software. The current Model S and X don't have the driver facing camera so they lack the hardware. But a future refresh Model S and X might get the camera.
Isn't quite working or not working at all?
I'm wondering if that feature requires HW3.
It's interesting that 2018.8.3 was released right around the same time that HW3 vehicles started to ship.
