Tesla has released its annual software update for its cars, Electrek reports. It includes useful driving features like automatic access to a car’s blind spot cameras, as well as fun additions like new games built into Tesla Arcade, TikTok support, and a feature that lets electric cars “dance to a choreographed light.” The update’s version number is 2021.44.25 and is expected to roll out in the coming days.

The most useful feature that Tesla's update brought might be the blind spot camera feature that automatically displays a live camera view of the car's blind spot whenever a driver activates a turn signal. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the feature was in development in July 2020, but it's here now to make maneuvers like changing lanes on highways a little safer.

Other practical improvements include an easier way to add multiple waypoints to a trip and simplified controls for accessing a car's main controls. It's also possible to drag and drop your most frequently used apps to customize the car's menu bar, and the front seat heaters can now adjust their temperature based on how warm it is in the car overall.
Of course, since this is Tesla, there are some more fun integrations in the update. TikTok videos can now be watched directly on the car's touchscreen via Tesla Theater, and Tesla Arcade has been updated with new games like Sonic the Hedgehog (announced earlier this month) and Sudoku.
