The full self-driving system is still under testing although currently available to a number of beta testers.
Autonomous driving is being made accessible to drivers and it’s free from Tesla. This means access to a system that features traffic-aware cruise control to match the speed of surrounding traffic.
The car will auto-steer the vehicle to keep passengers including the driver inside the clearly marked road lanes.
The bad news for Musk.
If you don’t know yet, Tesla has received a special order from the National Highway Transportation Administration requesting more data about the autopilot system.

Tesla and Elon may soon have to defend themselves in court over the allegations that the company’s autopilot driver assistant feature caused an accident.
The lawsuits, one scheduled for mid-September at a California state court, argue over Tesla’s autopilot system causing a man’s car to veer off the highway in the east of Los Angeles.
The second trial is scheduled for October in Florida state.
A car drove under an 18-wheeler big rig truck which sheared off the Tesla driver’s roof and killed the owner.
