Tesla has released software update 2026.2.9, renaming several driver-assistance features to distance itself from the 'Autopilot' name amid regulatory scrutiny. The changes include 'Navigate on Autopilot' becoming 'Navigate on Autosteer' and the 'FSD Computer' being updated to 'AI Computer'. The update affects only text and names, with no changes to functionality.
