MobileEye is the company to beat in autonomous driving. They license their tech to automakers representing 60% of industry units. Toyota is the notable holdout. Mercedes is one of the only automakers working on their own solution from the ground up. Google is taking a completely different approach so might enable them to leapfrog the others. Tesla really isn't the innovator in the space - they work more closely with MobileEye than any other automaker, so that's what enables them to get things first.. But Tesla's Lane keep feature will be available in other high end cars over the next 12 months or so. Would be interested in confirming that if anyone has more infoA 2 second blurb about Tesla's upcoming "autopilot" feature and that was it!?

Those hidden defrost vents are the most wonderful thing about my Model S Signature vehicle. The screen material hardly reflects onto the windshield. Every time I drive a loaner Model S, I see those air vents reflected in the glass. They are GONE with that screen material that was designed to hide them. With the new panoramic Big Sky windshield, I hope the screen material is on my Model X Signature!
Does it eliminate the reflection of the defroster vents in the Model S windshield on a bright sunny day? That is the only concern since they do not occur with the original Model S Signature.Try a quality pair of polarized sunglasses. Completely eliminates glare and reflections on the windshield. I can't drive without them.
Do this look like current firmware or v7?
Yes, polarized sunglasses eliminate the reflection of the defroster vents in the Models windshield on a bright sunny day.Does it eliminate the reflection of the defroster vents in the Model S windshield on a bright sunny day?

That's V7
If this is what people are complaining about, I don't really understand. It looks great, and functional. Gimmie!
Neither actually. That is the demo of v7 from 2014 when they announced Autopilot. It is not the v7 that is on the X not what has been accidentally pushed to some non-beta/non-EAP users. I think the original demo is still very different than v6, but some would probably not be as vehemently against v7 if this is what actually gets released.
Disagree, the main complaints seem to be the flatter design and the lack of tempurature/digital clock on the dash. This has all of those factors too. None of this should have been a surprise.

Maybe auto-steer has been ready for a while, and the release has been held up while they decide how to improve the v7 UI?
Talk about inverted priorities... No PM on the planet is going to hold up an already very late release for cosmetic issues.
I'd prefer they use "this" (the current interpretation of the Tesla deliverable based on the article about the beta) when texting than nothing.I'm not a huge proponent of cruise control, either, but there's a big difference between this and cruise control. People WILL use this for texting and checking Facebook, which isn't really something you can do with cruise control.
Best argument I've heard for getting the Performance variants of the Model S: it's safer when autopilot needs to take evasive action. I wonder if my insurance company would buy that.So, when the time comes that the lane keeping software alerts are not being responded to, and the Model S is going to slow down, turn on the hazards, and attempt to get to the side of the road and stop, why not accelerate before making each lane change?
In this respect, I think the non-P models excel too. On a road trip my wife and I kept commenting on how the instant acceleration, even at highway speeds, was a safety feature. It doesn't hurt when passing on a 2-lane highway either!Best argument I've heard for getting the Performance variants of the Model S: it's safer when autopilot needs to take evasive action.
To read the comments in the other thread, it's more than "cosmetic issues." Personally, I don't care, but I do think it's amusing if that's the case.
