hasn't made notable changes to Autopilot's overall functionality, but it has added additional features. Director of Consumer Reports Auto Testing Jake Fisher notes that while Tesla has added new features, it still"Top Videos: Consumer Reports, along with similar organizations have continually pointed out that Tesla doesn't seem to have a successful way to monitor whether or not drivers are actually paying attention and ready to take control while Autopilot is helping navigate.
Tesla has the ability to add features on the fly via its free over-the-air software updates. It also has a camera in the cabin of the car, which isn't necessarily designed for driver monitoring, though it can be manipulated with software to be used for the purpose. However, there are still questions about whether the use of Tesla's cabin camera to monitor a driver is truly effective.
Currently, Tesla has a"nag" system in place that alerts a driver if they don't keep their hands on the wheel. If the driver continues to ignore the nags, Autopilot will shut off and they'll be forced to take over. Some Tesla owners have learned ways to trick the system, and there are even products for the purpose, which is why organizations like Consumer Reports suggest other means of driver monitoring.
