The update adds autopilot support for traffic lights and stops signs. All car systems, including the GPS, are used to automatically stop when the car is heading for a traffic light, even when it is green.
This is how it works:
Here's how Tesla explains the feature:
"Traffic lights and stop sign control are designed to recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs, so the car stops when using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control or Autosteer. This feature will slow down the car for all traffic lights detected, including green, flashing yellow, and at the stop sign. As the car approaches a junction, it indicates the intention to slow down via an alert, slow down and stop at the red line shown in the driving visualization. "
To continue, press the gear selector once or briefly press the accelerator to confirm that it is safe to continue. As with all Autopilot features, you need to continue to be alert and ready to take immediate action, including braking, because this feature may not stop for all traffic controls. This feature will be conservative, often slow down first, and will not try to intersect. As we learn from the fleet, the function will be controlled more naturally.
To activate, change your car to PARK and touch Controls> Autopilot> Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control (Beta). »
