Title:Tesla is about to update Autopilot and start letting people try it for free

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company will update its semi-autonomous Autopilot feature and start letting Tesla owners try it for free.

特斯拉首席执行官马斯克(Elon Musk)表示，公司将更新Autopilot自动驾驶系统功能，并开始让特斯拉车主免费尝试。

Speaking during the company's annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday, Musk said he thought the update would arrive this week and mark a "significant improvement" over Autopilot's current iteration. Musk didn't elaborate on what the update will include, and a Tesla representative declined to offer details.

马斯克在周二举行的公司年度股东大会上讲话说，他认为将在本周进行的更新，标志着相对于Auto试点目前的迭代“显著改善”。马斯克没有详细说明更新的内容是什么，特斯拉代表拒绝提供细节。

Musk also said Tesla will give free trials of Autopilot to Tesla owners who didn't purchase the feature (it costs between $5,000-$6,000) and have the necessary hardware to run it "hopefully next month." Tesla last  offered free trials of the feature in 2016.

马斯克还说，特斯拉将向没有购买该功能的车主免费开放自动导航的试用功能（费用在5,000至6,000美元之间），并且拥有必要的硬件“希望下个月”。特斯拉最后一次提供免费试用该特色功能是在2016年.

In the next year, Musk said he expects Autopilot to make exponential improvements. When asked by a shareholder about when the full "Enhanced Autopilot" suite — which includes the ability to change lanes without driver input, switch from one freeway to another, and exit a freeway when close to the driver's destination — would arrive, Musk said at least one new feature could be rolled out in the next few months.

马斯克说，Autopilot的稳定性和性能将在来一年中呈指数级增长，改进非常迅速。当股东询问增强版的Autopilot是否将具备无需司机介入拥有改换车道、从一条高速公路改换到另一条高速公路，在靠近驾驶员目的地的时候驶出高速公路等功能时，穆斯克说，在未来几个月至少可以推出一个新的功能。

In its current iteration, Autopilot can keep a car in its lane and adjust its speed based on surrounding traffic, among other features.  Recent accidents involving the feature have  raised questions about whether drivers place too much trust in it and fail to pay attention to the road. Tesla has repeatedly said Autopilot is meant to be used with an attentive driver whose hands are on the wheel, but the most visible accidents involving Autopilot have included  reports of distracted drivers.

在当前的迭代过程中，Autopilot可以保持单车道，并根据周围交通等特点调整车速。最近发生的事故引起了关于司机是否对Autopilot过于依赖而不注意道路情况的问题。特斯拉曾多次表示，Autopilot本意是辅助一个专心致志的司机，司机的手应当放在方向盘上。但涉及Autopilot最引人注目的事故中，司机都是心不在焉的。

Tesla has received criticism for how it has promoted the feature. In May, Consumer Watchdog and the Center for Auto Safety sent a  letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate the strategies the company has used to sell Autopilot.

特斯拉对此功能的宣传方式受到了批评。今年5月，消费者监督组织和汽车安全中心致函联邦贸易委员会，要求该机构调查公司出售自动Autopilot的策略。
