Tesla has ceased using the term 'Autopilot' in its California vehicle marketing and rebranded driver assistance features, complying with a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) order and avoiding a 30-day suspension of its dealer license. The changes stem from a years-long dispute over misleading names for its Level 2 systems, which require constant human supervision. DMV Director Steve Gordon commended Tesla for protecting consumers.
Tesla's software update 2026.2 includes several unlisted modifications, such as renaming Autopilot features to Self-Driving and expanding 3D Supercharger maps to Europe. These changes enhance user interfaces and service diagnostics across multiple models. The update simplifies map version displays and improves ECU status monitoring.

Tesla has begun rolling out its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) version 14 software update to owners with Hardware 4 vehicles, marking the first major upgrade in nearly a year. The update incorporates features inspired by the company's Robotaxi program and addresses several driving scenarios. CEO Elon Musk had hyped the release, though it faced a delay due to a software bug.
