Tesla is rolling out new updates for Autopilot 2.0 driving assist software on its Model S and Model X vehicles which are equipped with self-driving hardware. With this version the company enhanced Tesla Vision, the technology that replaced Mobileye. The update also removes Autosteer’s speed restrictions by bumping the speed limit upto 90MPH on highways and also the speed limit off highways will no longer be restricted to 35 MPH. Tesla also added Auto High Beam alongwith a more widely Automatic Emergency Braking. According to Elon Musk, “We had a bit of a dip, obviously, because of the unexpectedly rapid transition away from Mobileye, where we’d expected to have the Mobileye chip on the board as we transitioned but Mobileye refused to allow that. So then we had to basically recreate all the Mobileye functionality in about 6 months – which we did.”
