Tesla has finally released its fully automated update to eager fans, but cautions that it still doesn't live up to its name.

As YouTuber Tesla Raj noticed, according to Digital Trends, the release notes for the fully automated limited access update state, "Always keep your hands on the wheel and pay close attention to the road because you could do the wrong thing at the worst possible time. You need to pay close attention to the road. Do not become complacent." This strong language may be in response to stories of fatal accidents that have occurred in the past with Tesla vehicles, potentially due to inattention while driving.

The beta notes further state, "Fully automated driving in limited beta should only be used if you pay constant attention to the road and are prepared to act immediately, especially in situations where you are crossing a blind corner or intersection or driving on a narrow road."

Tesla also appears to have increased driver monitoring to ensure that drivers are paying attention. Previously, weight against the steering wheel was used as an indicator of attention. Now, a camera above the rearview mirror is used to ensure that the driver is paying attention.

"The cabin camera above the rearview mirror can now provide an audible warning to determine driver inattention and remind them to keep their eyes on the road when the autopilot is engaged."

For those not familiar with Tesla's updates, there is a difference between the beta versions of Autopilot and fully automated driving that are currently available on all Teslas. According to Tesla's website, Autopilot is more of a driving assistant, helping to make driving easier and more comfortable, but still requires driver awareness and presence. It is best suited for driving on highways, where it is easier to see lines on the road and vehicles ahead.

Fully automated driving, on the other hand, aims to be much more autonomous and hands-off. This means that a Tesla Model 3, for example, can enter a highway onramp, autosteer or change lanes when the driver activates the turn signal, navigate interchanges, parallel or perpendicular park, and stop at all stop lights and stop signs Meaning.

However, fully automated driving is difficult to achieve. This is because roads, signs, and other indicators are designed for humans, not machines. This is a somewhat obvious fact that Tesla founder Elon Musk emphasized in an overly verbose tweet in April.

Of course, some, like Senator Edward Markey (R-Massachusetts), criticize Tesla for attaching the names Autopilot and full self-driving to features that do not live up to their claims. The concern is that less knowledgeable drivers may assume from the names that these features are more capable than they actually are.

Currently, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 23 Tesla accidents, 19 of which are believed to have "had some advanced driver assistance system activated at the time of the accident."

Still, not everyone has easy access to fully automated updates. Tesla customers must be on a waiting list for the Early Access program. Musk also confirmed via Twitter that although the recent beta update fixed some known issues, "get paranoid."
