Tesla's Full Self-Driving Progress: Analyst Insights and Key Takeaways
Analyst's Third Test of FSD Reveals Gradual Improvements
A Tesla analyst conducted a third test of the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, noting improvements in its performance at unprotected left turns (UPLs).
Key Findings from the Analyst's Test:
- Weather conditions were clear and dry.
- Tesla performed well at UPLs compared to previous tests.
- The system still requires driver supervision and does not offer full autonomy.
Tesla's Incremental Progress in FSD Development
Since the introduction of FSD, Tesla has gradually enhanced its performance, particularly at UPLs.
According to the analyst, “The performance of Tesla's Full Self-Driving system has gradually improved at UPLs since the introduction of FSD.”
Elon Musk's Test Drive Highlights FSD Capabilities
Tesla CEO Elon Musk's recent test drive of FSD V12 showcased the system's capabilities in handling complex driving scenarios.
The test drive demonstrated the system's ability to navigate intersections, make turns, and respond to obstacles, demonstrating its continued progress towards full autonomy.
Additional Insights from FSD Testers
Prominent FSD tester AI DRIVR shared a video on YouTube, highlighting the strengths and limitations of Tesla's system.
The video demonstrates the system's ability to handle various driving situations, but also raises concerns about its occasional errors and the need for human intervention.
Tesla's Rolling Out of FSD Beta Version 10
Tesla continues to roll out its FSD Beta software, providing new features and enhancements to selected owners.
The latest version, 10.2, includes improvements to the system's neural net architecture and obstacle detection, further advancing its capabilities.
Conclusion
Tesla's Full Self-Driving system continues to evolve, showing incremental improvements in its performance at UPLs and other driving scenarios.
While the system still requires driver supervision and does not provide full autonomy, it represents a significant step towards the future of autonomous driving.
