Tesla Motors<\/a> will introduce on Thursday (October 15, 2015) an advanced “beta test” set of autonomous driving features, The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The software will allow hands- and feet-free driving in everything from stop-and-go traffic to highway speeds, and enables a car to park itself, the journal says. It will be available for 50,000 newer Model S cars world-wide via software download.<\/p>\n

However, staying within licensing regulations, the software (at least the current version) requires the driver to grab the steering wheel every 10 seconds or so to avoid having the vehicle slow.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver time, long term, you won\u2019t have to keep your hands on the wheel — we explicitly describe this as beta,” said Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk at a press event. Notably, unlike other car makers, Tesla Motors is pushing the new features via an over-the-air software update.<\/p>\n
