In a new tweet from Out of Spec Motoring, we get a view into the live Tesla Autopilot system on the roads. As the Tesla Model Y has been released to drivers over the past few weeks, there are many insights into the electric vehicles autopilot system. As the video shows, Tesla Autopilot stops for red lights with detailed accuracy, the first time we’ve seen this from the Full Self Driving feature:

This appears to be an unreleased software update that is showing this feature in action.
Even though Tesla Autopilot has always been quite advanced, newer versions continue to update the precision of the system. Of course there are multiple factors that are responsible for such improvements. For one, Tesla simply has more cars on the roads now than ever before. This allows the company to collect even more data on its Autopilot system. Such data is crucial in determining necessary tweaks and adjustments.
Furthermore, the design of the Tesla Model Y also accounts for the improved Autopilot. As seen in numerous Model Y walkthrough videos, the vehicle has even more cameras and sensors on the exterior. These advanced vision points provide even further perspectives for Tesla Autopilot to operate.
We also saw that a code rewrite from Tesla seeks to upgrade many crucial aspects of Autopilot. The 3D modelling system, for example, benefits from fundamental changes to the system code. The addition of Autopilot’s improved ability to recognize traffic signals only serves as a testament to the technology’s gradual improvement.
