hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I was fortunate enough to get the latest
update from Tesla that has the auto lane change when you're on navigate on
autopilot so you'll see it's twenty nineteen point eight point five let's
take a look at the release notes and then we'll try it out and see how it is
now I already got the peak power increase in the auto steer stoplight
warning I haven't seen that yet but it should be there but this is what
we're really looking for and this is navigate on autopilot can now make lane
changes without requiring the driver to confirm the suggested lane change
there's some new options for this and you can pause the video if you'd like to
read the whole thing but let's take a look at the options in your settings if
you go to autopilot then you go to customize navigate on autopilot you now
have some new options so now we have require lane change confirmation if we
turn this off we get a warning saying this does not make your vehicle
autonomous you must continue to keep your hands on the wheel and monitor the
vehicles surroundings are you sure you wanted to save a lane change
conformation well yes and then we have some options for a lane change
notification off chime vibrate or both so depending on the year of your vehicle
it can vibrate the steering wheel so let's go ahead and try this on the drive
and see how it works because that's really the major change in this update
we'll see what that's like
navigate on autopilot is turned on now you're supposed to keep your hand on the
wheel but let's see if it makes the lane change it needs to move over by itself
here in just a moment and it's trying to move over but it
better move over soon since the lane ends so it did it by itself that time
and we're doing slowed down a little bit
now this is the part I'm most interested in you can see the map here actually is
going to get on a highway and then merge onto another one and then have to merge
over so we'll see what happens I'm most interested to see what happens as far as
that goes now I'll rest my hand on the bottom of
the steering wheel just to be safe and let's see what the happens but I'm not
touching anything I'm not steering it's doing everything itself we'll see if it
moves over into this next off-ramp here
so it just moved over like it's supposed to
let's see what happens next
still driving itself though
that was a little scary there was a truck coming into my lane a little bit
and I didn't have to take control thankfully but I did put my hand right
on that steering wheel just to make sure that doesn't slam into me
now we'll speed up a little bit since the speed limits faster here
this part should be pretty interesting to see if it merges by itself it does
need to move over to get into the left lane get dinged to let me know what's
going to move and it's moving over without me touching anything so again I
did put my hand on the steering wheel just to be safe but not touching
anything now the the truck in front of me is only doing about 60 miles per hour
the speed limit here is 70 and I have autopilot set to 70 so we'll see if it's
actually going to move by itself looks like it's going to and it's moving over
to get around to slow traffic so it's pretty nice
so every so often it wants you to apply light force to the steering wheel if
you're not familiar with Tesla that's kind of their way of making sure you're
there and everything's working like it should and it's going to take an exit in
7.9 miles and we'll see what happens we have an exit coming up and about a mile
or so it should merge to the right and then once we get off the exit I'll have
to take control again but let's see how it handles this
so what's going to change lanes now it gave me a little ding to let me know I
have to touch the steering wheel a little bit but it's doing everything
itself and it got off the exit without me confirming the lane change normally
you would have to confirm with the turn signal stock you don't have to do that
anymore it's really nice
(Navigation Speaking) Turn right onto West W.T. Harris Blvd
