one of the coolest features about Teslas fleet of cars so the s and the X aside from just an insane amount of instant torque is there essentially giant gadgets and like your phone or tablet get software updates over the air that will enable new features the folks at electric co of the scoop on Tesla's latest software update 8-point oh it's bringing a ton of new features as well as a UI overhaul let's start with one of the best I think the test last offer and that is autopilot not familiar with autopilot it's kind of like level 3 autonomous driving means you got to stay alert but if you just driving on the freeway the car can pretty much do all the driving for you if you want to change lanes put the signal up or down and will change one lane / left or right a limitation though the current hardware was that it could not exit freeways for you worry not a lipstick with software eight point Oh put your signal on and the car will know there's an exit coming I will actually take that exit for you how it's going to stop I don't know they cannot currently recognize stop lights or stop signs hopefully it's got a follow car so it'll know to stop otherwise those exits for you let's put your foot on the brake to come to a stop on the UI side as well autopilot getting some updates currently the UI for autopilot you can only see the back of the cars that are near you with the update 8 point 0 allegedly you be able to see the full degree of the car depending on where you are so if you're next to a car it'll look like you're next to a car for cars behind you you will see the front of it and so forth we shall see improvements how autopilot works Tesla uses fleet learning so the more people use it the better it's going to get mosley it will hover more the middle of the road is supposed to hugging the current right side of lane which it does right now we should also see big UI improvements as well as a Tesla the current gen seven point O is a dca overhaul but it wasn't giant this updates make things look completely different the biggest one should be in math and navigation that's what's moving a lot of updates to navigation let you re route to avoid toll road or different supercharger locations it should also give you much more on the go planning for charging and destination charging while Tesla users in Europe if it access to a Spotify app for quite a while folks in the u.s. still won't get that with eight point 0 unfortunately we should see though is complete you I change for the music interface so that's nice voice control should also be drastically improved currently we've got a hold down a voice control button and speak your command you shouldn't have to hold that button down anymore to work very much like Syria google now you'll push it down speak what you want to speak and the action will happen all you should see a visual representation of what you're saying show up on the dashboard now I'm still hoping no for a button that automatically call up serial google now pending on with phone you've got paired so big updates coming we don't know when these are going to hit supposedly just a few users using them right now it could be as soon as a few weeks could be a few months or even could be holding out until 2017 so what you guys think about Teslas 8.9 software update it's incredible to think about a car getting better will be a software something that Tesla can do and it's kind of unique in the marketplace for that a few guys thoughts on it you excited not excited you drive an S or an X you know someone that does i'm curious to try these features out myself so next time John render can TechnoBuffalo see you guys the next one
