Tesla has started to roll out its 2020.36 software update to its fleet, as noted by Teslascope.
According to owners who have installed this 2020.36 software update in their Tesla, such as Reddit user Avri54, there is now a green traffic light chime for the United States.
“A chime will play when the traffic light you are waiting for turns green. If you are waiting behind another car, the chime will play once the car advances unless Traffic Aware Cruise Control or Autosteer is active,” explains the release notes.
“When Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is activated, a chime will play when you can confirm to proceed through a green traffic light. To enable, tap Controls > Autopilot > Green Traffic Light Chime.”
Tesla emphasizes “this chime is only designed as a notification. It is the driver’s responsibility to observe their environment and make decisions accordingly.”

The release notes also indicate Speed Assist improvements in the United States, which “leverages your car’s cameras to detect speed limit signs to improve the accuracy of speed limit data on local roads. Detected speed limit signs will be displayed in the driving visualization and used to set the associated Speed Limit Warning.”
Also new are Cruise Set Speed Improvements, which note you can now “quickly adjust the Traffic-Aware Cruise Control or Autosteer set speed to the current speed by simply tapping the cluster speedometer. You can still tap the speed limit sign to adjust the set speed to the speed limit.”
Also new is an update to Autosteer Stop Sign and Stop Light Warning for all Tesla models worldwide. “Your car may warn you in some cases if it detects that you are about to run a stop sign or stop light while Autosteer is in use. This is not a substitute for an attentive driver and will not stop the car,” explains the Tesla 2020.36 release notes.
