It looks like the camera can’t see to the sides very well for navigating curves.If AP1 stayed as it is, I'd be happy. On the other hand, what about the promised off-ramp capabilities for versions 8.0 and 8.1? I still don't see a technical reason why AP1 can't be updated to take freeway off-ramps based on turn signals or routing.
Tesla will continue to update AP1 where they can, but eAP with HW2 and 2.5 will gain features AP! cars will never get, like the ability to change lanes without you telling it to (AP1 can't see to the rear beyond the ultrasonics, newer cars can easily.)
I don't have a link ready at hand, but WK057 has stated that the AP1 system has not been updated in a year now, and as such, I wouldn't expect it to be updated ever again. If you are happy with what it does (which is a lot) fantastic, but don't fool yourself that it's going to change over time.
Just to split hairs ahead of time, changing the time interval on the steering wheel or the updating of more detailed map tiles from Tesla doesn't mean they are updating the actual AP1 system functionality. There were many other functions which AP1 hardware is quite capable and were loosely promised early on (off ramp and splits on turn signals and nav, detecting stop signs, red lights, turn signals) as referenced by what Mobileye did with there hardware, which never were implemented on AP1. That's what happens when a pair of companies have a falling out.

As a driver of an AP1 car who uses AP on a routine basis, I can tell you that's wrong. My AP1 car does a much better job of driving today than it did a year ago, especially in some of the corner cases like bad weather and poor lane markings.
Well that was quick to be so decisively told I'm wrong.
None of this is to say that AP1 is not great, it is. But don't fool some poor guy who is thinking about buying a new (used) car with AP1 that the system is going to kept getting improved with new functionality like 2.0+ will be.
I was careful to include the hair splitting section, so would you mind breaking it down for me, as I did for you? Has the embedded system inside of the AP1 hardware been updated? Have any new "once promised" functions been added?
I'm am extremely well antiquated with AP1 since it was first turned on. I was very specific on what has changed over the last year. The updated map tiles account for the changes that you have seen, that being better handling of cases where it has to rely on map data.

You’re answering a different question than what the OP asked. Yes cars with AP1 will get firmware updates. No it will not improve the autopilot.

Will Tesla add new functionalities to AP1? I doubt that. But hope it can improve it's performance and not break it in the process.
