Tesla Autopilot software will 'enable full self-driving features'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the company's Autopilot will'begin to enable full self-driving features' this summer. The billionaire tweeted that a major update to the software coming in August, dubbed Tesla Version 9, will fix a number of issues with the Autopilot system. He said the upgrade will resolve problems with lane merging and enhance the software's self-driving capabilities. The news comes days after federal investigators determined that a Tesla SUV using the firm's autonomous driving system accelerated before it collided with a California freeway divider in March, killing its driver. Data shows the Model X SUV did not brake or try to steer around the barrier in the three seconds before the crash. The driver did not have his hands on the wheel.
