No More Turn-Signal Confirmation for Tesla Navigate

In a blog post on Thursday, Tesla announced that drivers will no longer have to approve lane changes when the car’s Navigate on Autopilot system is engaged.

It’s a small step, but also a pretty big leap toward self-driving cars.

The function Navigate on Autopilot is Tesla’s “on-ramp to off-ramp” self-driving system, now allows its cars that have the feature to drive themselves on limited access highways and navigate interchanges, on-ramps, and off-ramps by themselves—as long as the driver keeps a hand on the wheel periodically and the car has a destination set in the navigation system.
