Meet the new Tesla Autopilot, same as the old Tesla Autopilot.
In the wake of the massive recall meant to address inadequate driver monitoring, MotorTrend tested out Tesla’s newly updated Autopilot on a 700-mile road trip, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s barely any different.
In our estimation, Tesla has done the bare minimum to satisfy the NHTSA’s concerns. It has made the warnings more visible, but it has not increased the frequency of those warnings. It continues to rely on easily deceived steering wheel torque sensors for all driving conditions that don’t involve Autosteer, rather than cracking down on driver distraction at all times, as many competitors have done.
