#204 Partially Automated Driving Systems and Tesla's New Autopilot Update
Talking Cars (Video)About this episode
We tried out an updated setting on Tesla's Navigate on Autopilot that allows the car to automatically make lane changes without any additional input from the driver. We also discuss the state of other partially automated driving systems on the market and share our concerns on what this trend means for the future. Plus, we answer questions about octane ratings, in-car controls, and vehicle data loggers. ------------------------------------------ Have a question for our experts?
