As technology progresses, cars are getting smarter and smarter. Tesla, which has managed to surpass all automakers on its own and is the first manufacturer that comes to mind when it comes to electric vehicle, autonomous driving, continues to make exciting statements about fully autonomous driving. Elon Musk has announced that the beta version of their “fully autonomous driving” software will be made available in the US this year.
Tesla continues its work on fully autonomous driving
Speaking during the Tesla Cyber Rodeo event held to celebrate the opening of the Austin factory, Tesla CEO Elon Musk used the following statements:
“Tesla Autopilot and The AI team has done an incredible job of creating a real-time AI. This year we were able to move into large beta for all autonomous driving customers in North America.”
Tesla vehicles are offered with a driver assistance system called Autopilot as standard. The system, called Full Self Driving or FSD, has been on the option list for years for $12,000. Musk has repeatedly stated that this system will one day provide fully autonomous driving. FSD includes Navigate on Autopilot, an active guidance system that provides the car with all kinds of movement on the highway, including junctions and lane changes, and active parking Summon. With the new update, this system can now be used on city roads as well.
The company launched a “safety score” program last year to determine whether car owners can access the beta version of its “Fully Autonomous Driving” software. According to this program, the FSD update was performed on the vehicles of the users above a certain score. In the statement, it was stated that 60,000 Tesla owners got this update.
After the FSD beta software, many videos have been shared on the internet where users push the limits of this system. So what do you think about Tesla’s fully autonomous driving systems? You can share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
