Tesla drivers are having a little too much fun with auto-steer

2015-10-24
Tesla's Model S features got a major update giving the cars powerful self-driving features however the company made it expressly clear those features are still in beta and drivers should still keep their hands on the wheel naturally some drivers are ignoring that advice so the feature in question is Auto steering which is pretty self-explanatory it allows the Model S to sear itself at highway speeds monitoring the traffic ahead and keeping in a single lane this is without question really cool but and this is a big but this technology is really young and should never ever be taken for granted but yeah people are totally taking it for granted I get it this is exciting stuff and thankfully no one's gotten hurt but taking your hands off the wheel and letting the car do whatever it wants using beta software it's probably a bad idea not right there now is it worth questioning why Tesla would release unfinished software to its customers who are driving real cars in the real world of course that shouldn't be downplayed but until self-driving cars are perfected and that's clearly a long way off it's still fully on people to drive safely
