PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA — Electric car company Tesla released its version 8.0 update on Thursday morning.
According to Tesla’s newsletter, this is biggest UI revamp since the launch of the Model S. The update comes with various improvements to the media player, maps system, Autopilot system, and also comes with a new function called “Cabin Overheat Protection.”
The “Cabin Overheat Protection” function is designed to prevent overheating deaths of children and pets inside vehicles. The new feature automatically turns on the vehicle’s ventilation and air conditioning system when the temperature inside the car rises to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the function currently only remains operational within the 12 hours after a driver leaves the vehicle.
According to Elon Musk’s Twitter updates, a future update will allow users to set maximum and minimum temperature settings.
