    A Tesla vehicle update will check drivers for grogginess.

    A new feature called “Driver Drowsiness Warning” is rolling out to cars in Europe that alerts drivers if they appear tired. It checks for facial cues and driving patterns that might indicate drowsiness using the inside camera and while not on Autopilot.

    Until 2021, Tesla had only barebones driver monitoring involving steering wheel hand nudge checks while Autopilot was active.

    Tesla adds the ability to predict Supercharger stall availability.

    Drivers could already see what stalls are occupied or broken, but with the new update (slowly) rolling out, Tesla now factors ETAs of drivers navigating to the same station and past activity data to predict wait times before arrival. It probably won’t factor in people taping cables to their cars, though.

    In other charging news, Tesla is now deploying new V4 Superchargers in the US.
