Tesla Launches New Self-Parking Technology

Last month, Tesla released new software that the company claims is the next step toward developing fully autonomous driving capabilities.  Uniquely, Tesla launched the new software “over-the-air.”  Through an app, the software enables a driver to  prompt the vehicle to open the garage door, enter the garage, park itself, and shut down. The “over the air” upgrade underscores the issue of reconciling aging cars on the road with newer driving technology. Tesla upgrades the computers that drive by building in systems that can be reprogrammed by updating the technology as it matures. Tesla has already begun fine-tuning the software, through updates, since its initial launch.
