It took a few weeks after the first US customers started receiving Tesla’s 2020.16 software update, but the automaker has now started pushing the 2020.16.2.1 update to vehicles across Canada.
Tesla owners in Canada were hopeful this update would finally include the Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control (Beta) feature that has been in the US for several months now.
Elon Musk said a few weeks ago that the feature, which automatically stops at traffic lights and stop signs when Autopilot or Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) is engaged, was coming to Canada “in a few weeks”.
Unfortunately it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer, as this feature was not included in the release notes.
This update also includes the new pedestrian visualization, which shows the pedestrian actually walking across the screen, instead of just sliding across like it was on rails before. This new visualization also works in cars equipped with the older HW2.5 computers.
