TESLA SAYS ITS VEHICLES CAN OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Tesla is rolling out a new feature of its partially automated driving system designed to spot stop signs and traffic signals. The update of the electric car company’s cruise control and auto-steer systems runs contrary to recommendations from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board that include limiting where Tesla’s Autopilot driving system can operate. The company said the feature will slow the car whenever it detects a traffic light. It will notify the driver of its intent to slow down and stop.
