Tesla changed its naming scheme with this new update. It’s still under the version ‘8.1’, but Tesla is now adding ‘2017.28’, which is the year and week, and they added the code ‘c528869’.
The release notes only mention “minor fixes and improvements” so
the update is going under the radar,
but the update was actually bigger than average and those improvements are quite significant.
We talked to a few owners of Tesla vehicles with second generation Autopilot who already received the update and they all noticed improvements with both Autosteer and TACC. Their
vehicles are not “ping ponging” between the lanes anymore, both on highways and also on single lane roads.They all called the update “smoother”, like Musk’s comment, but the biggest improvement is the Automatic Lane Change, which is now almost flawless, according to some owners. Though, we are also
hearing about overall improvements.
We are trying to get some videos to demonstrate the performance of Autopilot on the latest update and we will share when we have any. If you received the update and can take video, let us know and we will share it.
It certainly looks like this latest update is bringing Autopilot 2.0 back to around the same level of efficiency as the first generation of Autopilot. Now as Tesla starts to master its deep learning and computer vision technology, we should
soon start seeing even more improvements leading to new features promised under the ‘Enhanced Autopilot’ enabled by the new hardware suite.
