Tesla Motors Inc. will begin rolling out the first version of its highly anticipated "autopilot" features to owners of its all-electric Model S sedan Thursday. Autopilot is a step toward the vision of autonomous or self-driving cars, and includes features like automatic lane changing and the ability of the Model S to parallel park for you.

The MIT AgeLab, which is part of the Center for Transportation and Logistics at MIT, is looking for Tesla drivers to participate in a new research initiative that “analyzes advanced vehicle technology use in real-world scenarios.”

Tesla owners can earn up to $1,000 for participating in the study over a 12-month period, but it sounds like it is pretty intrusive.
