In the wake of a fatal Tesla crash in California, the electric car maker began flashing warnings in cars every 30 seconds that'nag' users to'hold the wheel.' But many were annoyed and confused when the warnings didn't go away, even after applying a'white knuckle death grip.' Now, Tesla boss Elon Musk says Tesla will update the system so it's not so naggy. Tesla is updating its Autopilot software to make it clearer when drivers should have their hands on the wheel. A previous update would warn drivers every 30 seconds to'hold the wheel' A Tesla owner tweeted at Musk complaining that the new Autopilot update, released a few days ago, is a'pain' and that it required him to constantly hold the wheel to keep the warnings at bay. 'Will be adjusting screen alert to clarify that we mean'slight up or downward force on the wheel,' not really'hold the wheel'', Musk replied in a tweet on Wednesday. Another user commented that the Autopilot changes dissuaded him from using the feature because it nagged him to keep his hands on the wheel.
