Tesla is about to add two new features to its autopilot mode
On Friday, Elon Musk revealed two new features that will come as a software update and will do even more of the driving for you, the highway autosteer and parallel autopark. Elon revealed these new features with a tweet on its personal profile:
Almost ready to release highway autosteer and parallel autopark software update

Parallel autopark will exactly do what it sounds like, park your Tesla car, the second feature, Highway autosteer, will allow drivers to travel long distances without touching the wheel or pedals.
The software update will reportedly be rolling out in the very soon, just as soon as they will resolve the last issues with low contrast lane markings:
Final corner case is dealing with low contrast lane markings (faded white on grey concrete) while driving into the sun at dusk

The car will learn over time, but there is a min caliber of starting quality.
