Tesla Motors is incrementally adding more autopilot autonomous driving features to the Model S and Model X. With the 7.1 update just released, the car will detect the ability to autopark into a space while driving through parking lots, and can drive itself (unoccupied) in and out of a garage. With the right integration with home control gizmos, the car can even automatically open and close the garage door for you. And one presumes that the snake-like charging thing could be installed in the garage and automatically deploy itself once the car is ensconced in its cave/lair.
The full list of updates in 7.1 were posted on the Tesla Motors Club by user NOLA_Mike, and includes
- Autosteer updates – Performs better on the highway
- Autopark – in garages, or in perpendicular parking situations
- Autopark – summon car. The car owner is warned this only works on flat driveways, they should stay in proximity to the car, and only use it on private property
- HomeLinks – automatically open/close garages
- Autopilot – enhanced visualizations
