The new system has been reprogrammed from the ground up to enable Tesla to make over-the-air updates faster and without having to wait for third-party vendors.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk cautions that the upgraded navigation system is a "mature beta" that won’t be perfect initially. But he says improvements will be made quickly.
