Key Points:

  1. Tesla’s FSD beta is a software update that enables certain Tesla models to perform autonomous driving tasks, such as navigating city streets and highways.
  2. The FSD beta uses a combination of cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to analyze the surrounding environment and make decisions in real-time.
  3. Early testers have reported impressive results, with some saying that the system is almost “too good” and can be overly cautious at times.
  4. The FSD beta is not yet fully autonomous and requires driver supervision, but it represents a significant step towards full autonomy.
  5. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated that the company is on track to achieve full autonomy by the end of 2021, although some experts are skeptical about this timeline.

Personal Insights:

  • I hope I live long enough to have a robot drive me around like this. This would certainly allow me to text while driving in a much safer way…
