Last year, Tesla introduced ‘Navigate on Autopilot’ on cars with its Enhanced Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system running Software Version 9.0. The company recently expanded the functionality of the feature to provide a “more seamless active guidance experience.”
With the update, driver now have a Customize Navigate on Autopilot button in the Autopilot settings menu, which will now display three settings – Enable at Start of Every Trip, Require Lane Change Confirmation and Lane Change Notification.
The first setting allows Navigate on Autopilot to be automatically turned on each time a driver enters a navigation route. Meanwhile, if users opt not to enable ‘Require Lane Change Confirmation’, lane changes will happen automatically, without requiring confirmation via the turn signal stalk.
The last setting lets users choose if they want to be notified about an upcoming lane change by receiving an audible chime and visual prompt, with steering wheel vibration also present on cars made after August 2017. This allows drivers to decide if they want to cancel the lane change before the vehicle performs the manoeuvre.
Tesla is quick to remind its users that this feature does not make a car fully autonomous, as automatic lane changes will only happen when it detects the driver’s hands on the steering wheel.

Hi Gerard,
I’m wondering, why Paultan.org haven’t write anything about OpenPilot? It is impossible to review for us in Malaysia but at least write an article about it. We have 2 models that according to their website can support OpenPilot.
So meaning less chance it will autodrive the car into a fiery grave?
You are right. With this, there will be less chance of cars masuk Parit
Proton owner said, “Proton, drive towards Parit Buntar”…..
But Proton car went into the parit
What nonsense are you talking about? Even their most high tech car, the X70, doesn’t have autopilot feature so how would the driver ask the car to drive towards Parit Buntar? By colliding with your car?
