This update was also seen in 2022.16.1 which was released last week.
“Navigate on Autopilot has been updated to require a driver-initiated request before the vehicle will select a motorway exit or interchange. This driver-initiated request can be made by using the turn signal stalk shortly before the lateral maneuver is required. Please remain attentive and ready to initiate these maneuvers to remain on the navigation route. This update serves as a remedy to a non-compliance recall of the prior capability (not requiring a driver-initiated request) and only affects vehicles with the Navigate on Autopilot feature in markets that apply European (ECE) regulation,” reads Tesla’s update.
Lawmakers have decided to axe the ability for Navigate on Autopilot to enter and exit highways, unless user action is involved. The move is seen as a barrier for Europeans to getting Full Self-Driving (FSD) one day.
While FSD progress remains stifled in Europe, Tesla this week expanded FSD beta to more testers in Canada and the U.S., with some lower Safety Scores of 93 getting the update and ability to test the software.
Update June 18, 2021: Here are the 2022.16.1.1 release notes shared by a Tesla North reader in Canada.
We see Autopilot Maximum Speed (increased from 130 kph to 140 kph), Driver Profiles (media player accounts now linked to profile; e.g. Spotify) and Navigation Energy Prediction (crosswind, headwind, humidity, ambient temp. now taken into account) added.
Notice there are also improved visualizations for cars around your vehicle (the front lead car is darker; more shades of black), while the power meter display bar is now thicker, making it easier to see.
For those not aware, “the power meter displays real-time power usage. During acceleration, the bar fills to the right with a gray color (or white if the display is dark) to represent power being used. During deceleration (when Model 3 is moving and you release your foot from the accelerator pedal), the bar fills to the left with a green color to represent power being fed back to the Battery by regenerative braking,” explains Tesla.
