Well this came randomly and unexpected.
When reading the release notes yesterday it almost didn't look like there was anything new.
Then noticed "Autosteer (Beta)" was in the middle of the features.
Called Tesla to confirm it wasn't indeed a mistake.
Took a drive to try it out.
I couldn't get it to work on most roads (wanted to try slow speed stop and go traffic first).
The only place I was able to get it to work on was eastbound in the old Kai Tak Tunnel (~60kph for roughly 15 seconds).
It seems like the Autosteer we have gotten has more criteria to meet before that grey steering wheel pops up for you to enable.
While something is better than nothing, perhaps it's geofenced?
Can anyone confirm?
I have tried it on highway no 3 from Jordan Road to Tai LAM , the system is perfect and I don't need to intervene at all. Only I need to touch the wheel from time to time as stipulated on the panel.
Nice! Actually I'm interested in what technology is used to detect user is touching the leather wrapped wheel ?
A department spokesman told the Post it approved two features – auto steer and auto lane change – after examining information Tesla provided.
The two features must be used on roads with a central divider and a speed limit of 70 km per hour or above as well as display a proper warning message to remind drivers to maintain control at all times.
The department also directed Tesla to educate drivers so that they would be aware of how the features operated and what their limitations were.
It also advised that the auto steer and auto change features offered only supplementary assistance.
as far as i know, it just goes by wheel turning resistance, so possibly some weight on the wheel a-la-mecedes
How does AP know if there is a center lane divider?
Supposedly it uses GPS and a list of suitable roads.
There have been reports of it getting confused when side roads cross or come near the main road that autopilot is working on.
So indeed it is a neutered version of AP.
Something is better than nothing i guess.
Another update going on right now apparently
