Tesla might soon be planning to limit Autopilot (http://mashable.com/2015/10/14/tesla-software-7-0/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), but just for those drivers who abuse it.

Following several crashes (http://mashable.com/2016/07/12/tesla-confirms-second-autopilot-crash/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) and one fatality (http://mashable.com/2016/06/30/tesla-autopilot-death-investigation/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), Autopilot updates in Tesla's version 8.0 software may include programming that limits functions for Tesla drivers who disregard safety prompts.

Tesla is planning to disable Autopilot's Autosteer function for drivers who habitually ig**re the car's commands to retake the steering wheel, according (https://electrek.co/2016/08/28/tesla-autopilot-safety-restrictions-v8-0-accidents/) to Electrek.

If a Tesla driver habitually ig**res reminders to "Hold Steering Wheel," Autopilot will disengage. What's more, it will **t allow the driver to reengage the system until the car has come to a complete stop and put into Park. Read more...
