Elon said August

Elon Musk likes Twitter communication just as much as the current US president and he used the 140-character medium to reveal its Autopilot self-driving update.

According to Elon himself, the new and better, let’s say updated auto pilot software with some bug fixes, will partially start rolling out now. The updates that are expected very soon might address the issue some drivers reporting with two lanes merging to one in rush hour traffic. Tesla reportedly cannot decide to let the car slightly ahead on the neighboring lane go ahead when drivers invariably find themselves cornered.

More importantly, Elon confirmed that the August update will be the part of the long awaited Tesla Version 9 software update. This feature will begin to enable full self-driving features and it will entirely focus on safety.

Tesla is not benefiting from the fact that some of its cars have killed its precious customers. Tesla is still a rich man technology playground that paves the road for the future of automotive, and what many call Level 4 self-driving.

Tesla has a big track record of being late for everything. So, when it sayz August, this is very optimistic but Elon was smart choosing his words carefully saying that this is a "beginning". His exact words were: "With V9, we will begin to enable full self-driving features.“
