Tesla's Autopilot software received an upgrade, making it possible for its electric vehicles to maneuver around construction cones. According to media reports, Tesla has been issuing upgrades to its software regularly during the past few years. The software is powered by sensors placed on the car and its computer vision system that shows the vehicle surroundings on the screen. In the summer it added the ability to zoom in and out and get a 360-degree view. In the latest addition, Tesla included the ability to detect, visualize and maneuver around traffic cones as seen in this video uploaded to Twitter. When releasing the update, Tesla wrote: "in cases where a traffic cone is detected and Navigate on Autopilot is engaged (requires Full Self Driving Capability), the vehicle is designed to suggest a lane change (or attempt a lane if REQUIRE LANE CHANGE CONFIRMATION is set to NO) to avoid cones.
