Tesla has said its latest version of Autopilot, its autonomous driving software, is able to stop at traffic lights. But some Tesla drivers are learning it doesn't just stop at red lights, it appears to slow down for green lights, too.

Last Friday, Tesla drivers first reported receiving a software update that included"Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control," which is designed to slowdown and stop the vehicle for visible traffic lights or stop signs.Tesla describes the software as being in"beta," meaning it's unfinished and still officially in testing.

"There's no upside to this software," Cummings said."There's a capability being released to the general public that's known to have significant defects."Cummings said the software raises the question of whether regulators should allow unfinished software to be released to the public.

I also slow down for green lights too. Duh! Have you ever seen anybody blow a light at an intersection? Ever seen a deadly t-bone crash? Ever been in one?

As long as you don’t die, cool, right?

I liked the approach many scientist used in Japan. They studied the human brain first and how it works while driving. Allowing them to estimate how much processing power a computer would need to match the brain. Those studies showed we'll need about 5 million X more than we have

So it will be perfect for every driver in Indiana

Like driving behind a senior citizen. Green means go, gramps.

Technology progressive despite current president.

Exactly the hard hitting news we need rn. You guys missing coverage of anything or anyone?!

I'D TRUST SWALLOWING DISINFECTANT BEFORE TRUSTING A TESLA TO DRIVE ME AROUND

Autopilot can never be perfect.

It is always good to slow down for green lights... there might be a non-autonomous car going the other way.

Does this Tesla have any other insurmountable hardships?

It stops at all traffic lights regardless as advertised clearly when you update the software (it is still in beta). Sorry, how is this journalism?

As a professional driver I can say, I do as well.
