The Tesla boss revealed the news in a tweeted reply to a customer, saying the updated Autopilot system could be out on Wednesday “if no last-minute issues discovered.” The new 8.0 Tesla software will see radar bumped up as a major sensor in Autopilot mode. Currently Autopilot primarily relies on cameras.
