Tesla's Autopilot feature gets approved for international use

We’re inching closer and closer to driverless cars. Tesla’s keeping ahead of that curve with its Autopilot feature. Tesla was planning to release the feature around the world once it got regulatory approval. The day has arrived as Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter they got international release approval for all countries except for Japan, which is still under review.

Now, if you want your Tesla to do the driving for you can do so. A new Autopilot 1.01 update is coming out soon with better fleet learning, improved lane tracking on poor roads, curved speed adoption, and controller smoothness. The company’s semi-autonomous driving feature, Autosteer, is in beta. Drivers are still encouraged to keep their hands on the wheel as the car navigates because in case the system detects a section it can’t navigate, it will prompt you to take over the wheel.
