The Full Self-Driving (FSD) 10.3 Beta version, which was made available recently, failed to meet expectations. Tesla vehicle owners responded by stating that they had problems with Autopilot, Traffic Aware Cruise Control and TACC. Making a statement on this, Elon Musk stated that they have withdrawn the update.
Stating that some problems were detected in FSD 10.3, Elon Musk pointed out that such situations can always occur during the beta process. Noting that they have temporarily removed Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta 10.3 by saying, “It is not possible to test all hardware configurations in the public beta,” Musk stated that they will continue with Beta 10. 2.
Elon Musk didn’t explain the issues in Full-Self Driving Beta 10.3
Full-Self Driving software does not give Tesla vehicles a completely driverless experience. Defined as the “driver assistance system”, the FSD is not accessible to every user anyway. Tesla evaluates drivers between 0-100 points with a rating system called Safety Score. Only those with 100 points can use the FSD software.
A Tesla user stated that he encountered the problem of TACC + Autosteer icons not appearing in FSD 10.3 version. He said that when he parked the vehicle in sleep mode for 30 minutes, this problem was solved and the icons came back. Other users who encountered similar situations reported that the problem disappeared after switching to Chill driving mode and exiting.
Elon Musk did not fully specify the reasons for withdrawing the update. He just stated that there were some problems in the 10.3 version. He did not specify when they would be resolved.
In August, it was revealed that some Tesla vehicles crashed into parked emergency cars while the FSD was on. Following the incident, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; It launched a detailed investigation covering Model Y, Model X, Model S and Model 3. It was determined that more than 10 Full Self-Driving incidents occurred between 2018-2021.
