Electric car company Tesla has launched an autopilot mode that will let a vehicle change lanes by itself.
Chief executive Elon Musk said the Model S and the new Model X will be able to automatically steer, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic.
They can also find a parking spot and parallel park.
While other car makers such as Mercedes, Audi and Volvo have their own semi-autonomous systems, lane-changing is an industry first.
Cameras, sensors and mapping data will be used to navigate, and the update will be available via an on-board software update to customers who paid for the full autopilot system.
But he warned drivers to exercise caution when using it.
He said: "It should not hit pedestrians, hopefully. It should handle them well. The driver cannot abdicate responsibility. That will come at some point in the future.
"It can see and sense cyclists and pedestrians. It should brake before hitting them. But I wouldn't want to say today, don't worry about it."
A future update could see cars being able to exit and enter garages when summoned by the owner.
Mr Musk said fully autonomous, hands-free driving is at least three years away.
