Tesla brings out strong and divided opinions in the area of Autonomous Cars, with some people convinced that Tesla cars will never be capable of 'full self driving,' and others - like me - who see Tesla as having the best chance at coming to market with self-driving taxis first.
So it is exiting to see progress being made.
On April 19 an investor's event demonstrating the full self driving demo software will be live-streamed, and very soon all Tesla vehicles with the 'full self driving' or 'enhanced autopilot' features will get a
software update allowing the car to switch lanes on its own, without any input from the driver.
The demo features will probably be a better version this demo version, unlocked by the hacker GreenTheOnly:

I've had my Model 3 Standard Range+ for about two weeks now, and I can say that I am completely confident in my car's ability to change lanes and handle traffic on the freeway. The car is solid at keeping lanes, it knows when other cars around it and reacts to them as they merge and move around it, and it can navigate to the exit I need without my needing to pay any attention to exit numbers. It is an AWESOME car, and I can't wait to get more self-driving features!
