Does anyone know if AP2 is coming any time soon? Heard some talk that it might be because Model X design studio seems to indicate two cameras? Thinking about getting a new S and I'd obviously want AP 2 if it's going to be a thing... Does anyone know whether current AP will function on surface streets eventually or whether it's even capable?

Autopilot 2.0 Not Imminent Based On Production Model X Design Studio [Speculation]
My understanding from watching Amnon Shashua, the hardware that is in Tesla now, will not allow semi autonomous city driving - that's targeted for CY2018.

This doesn't mean that Tesla owners don't use current AP in the city. Stop and go on a freeway is an example of that.

Also, just got off the phone with two different Tesla advisors, one of whom is the manager for my region. They both informed me that there are no immediate plans to implement any sort of AP 2.0 hardware and that current AP was 3 years in the making, of course they'll also still continue to roll out software updates for current tech (as expected). Moreover, the manager stated that the Model X units being delivered have the SAME AP tech as the Model S, no improved/dual camera design.

I've used it in city driving and it's generally really good (with good street markings), with the major proviso that it doesn't handle intersections (stop lights and stop signs) at all.
As with any assisted driving, you have to be monitoring it at all times, but it can provide substantial value in the city if you're willing to babysit it.
