Tesla has added two new safety features that make sure you stay in your lane, even if you don’t have Autopilot on.

Lane Departure Avoidance, when enabled, will apply corrective steering to make sure the car stays in the intended lane. If the driver starts departing a lane without switching the turn signal on, and if the driver’s hands are not on the wheel, the feature will also start alerting the driver that the car is departing the lane. Finally, if Traffic Aware Cruise Control is in use, and the driver’s hands are “repeatedly” not detected on the wheel, the car will slow down to 15 miles below the speed limit, and turn the hazard lights on.
