TESLA FSD AUTOPILOT STOPS AT RED LIGHT MODEL 3 SOFTWARE UPDATE 2020.20.13

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly tests Tesla's new traffic light and stop sign control feature, part of software update 2020.20.13, in Sydney's CBD. The reviewer, Tesla Tom, demonstrates the system's ability to react to traffic signals, stop signs, and some roundabouts during cruise control and auto steer. While the system generally performs well, particularly in stopping for red lights and stop signs, there are noted issues. The car sometimes incorrectly identifies lane markers as traffic lights on the Harbour Bridge, requiring manual intervention. It also struggled with complex intersections involving tram tracks and some roundabouts, occasionally stopping too far back or mid-intersection. The reviewer found using the indicator stalk to proceed was more consistent than the accelerator, though acknowledged this might change with more practice. Navigate on Autopilot is also re-enabled for this update, though with some limitations in construction zones. Overall, the update shows significant promise, especially for right-hand drive markets, but still requires driver vigilance and has room for improvement in complex scenarios.
