Tesla Motors is releasing 8.0 over the air update for Model S or Model X owners. The OTA update aims to improve these cars' performance.
Tesla Motors' 8.0 OTA update is being claimed as the biggest update ever. The company proceeded to test the latest software update on random owners, especially the updated version of the Autopilot feature and a whopping change on the user interface (UI), which reportedly will surprise Tesla owners, The Country Caller reported.
Elon Musk Tesla Motors' Chief Executive said that since their first release of the Autopilot, the future will allow complete self-driving. However, the Tesla Motors' 8.0 OTA update will focus first on improving autonomous driving on the highways and auto-parking features. Generally, the update will compensate for those that point out mistakes to its hardware limitations.
Tesla Motors' 8.0 OTA update will add extra improvements to performance on highways such as the automatic off-ramp with the turn signal as well as excite most Tesla Model S and Model X owners on the capacity of the Autopilot Convenience Feature.
The improvements may be similar to the existing auto-lane changing feature with turn signal. However, the new update will permit owners to command the system to change lanes by using an indicator. The auto steering and Traffic Aware Cruise Control, TACC, will also provide a better and smoother driving during traffic, Philly reported.
The Tesla Motors' 8.0 OTA update will also update the interactive Autopilot dashboard interface. It will show a Tesla car in virtually any inclination they are driving in. Also, the voice command system will be improved; pressing a button down to send a voice command will not be required anymore that anymore. Also, a display of the command transcript will be shown in the dashboard.
Tesla's navigation and map system UI will also be one of the biggest changes. It will now include a to-do list and a new routing derived from the automobile's energy capacity. It will now be able to suggest alternative routes to charge the vehicle at different Supercharger stations to avoiding tolls.
Tesla Motors' 8.0 OTA update will also be updating the Media Play with access to Spotify app inside the vehicle; however, the feature will be available to North American users only. The Spotify app will come with 80 new updates and a Tune In app for trendy podcasts.
