Tesla is advancing a software upgrade that will enable its electric car's autonomous driving system to detect speed limit signs through cameras. According to the relevant instructions released by the software, when the camera detects a speed limit sign, it will be displayed on the car screen and can be used to set a speed limit warning.

The latest software upgrade also adds traffic lights and stop signs control functions. When the signal light at the intersection turns green, the Tesla car at the stop line will sound a bell to remind, and finally the driver decides whether and when to continue.

In April of this year, Tesla launched a beta software upgrade for its new cars, allowing the car to detect and react to stop signs and traffic lights at intersections. It is reported that the "fully autonomous driving" version of Autopilot has the "traffic lights and stop signs control" function. After this feature is enabled, Tesla will slow down to stop when encountering traffic lights and stop signs. Before the car moves forward again, the driver needs to lightly step on the accelerator or push the Autopilot joystick.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has revealed that in 2018 Tesla has developed a traffic light and stop sign control function. He said: "Your Tesla will soon be Without driver intervention, drive from the garage at home to parking at the workplace."

However, although Tesla called this driving mode "fully autonomous driving", Musk also promised to launch a fully autonomous Tesla this year, but nothing has been achieved. Tesla still needs people to drive. Tesla's Autopilot system starts at about $7,000, allowing users to enjoy assisted driving features such as speed limit and stop sign control. (Chenchen)
