Elon Musk releases more details about Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving Beta’

Elon Musk has released a few additional details about Tesla’s “Full
Self-Driving Beta” wider release, which should start tomorrow.

Tesla’s plan for a “wider release” of its Full Self-Driving Beta, which was
supposed to land six months ago, has changed a lot over the last month.

It went from a simple “download button” that would have allowed people who
bought the Full Self-Driving package to download the latest software to a
“request button” that starts a period of judging your driving based on some
parameters and adds you to a queue to maybe get the new software.

As we previously reported, there are also some problems with Tesla’s
“safety score” as it penalizes some owners through no fault of their own.

Last week, Musk said that Tesla would release a new FSD Beta update, v10.2,
on Friday, October 8, and that the automaker would start pushing the update
to around 1,000 new owners per day starting with those with the best
“safety score.”

Today, Musk updated that plan in a new tweet:

FSD Beta 10.2 rolls out Friday midnight to ~1000 owners with perfect
100/100 safety scores. Rollouts will hold for several days after that to
see how it goes. If that looks good, beta will gradually begin rolling out
to 99 scores and below.

It looks like Tesla is pumping brakes and trying to wade into this wider
release as slow and cautiously as possible.

Musk also said today that Tesla would improve its safety score system to
address some of the current issues:

Definitely, further refinements coming to (early beta) safety test score.
It will be refined continuously until it is an extremely good predictor of
crash probability. Exciting actuarial problem!

As a reminder, while the package is called “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) and
comes with the promise of eventually enabling that capability, it currently
doesn’t provide an actual full self-driving system.

Tesla FSD Beta enables Tesla vehicles to virtually drive themselves both on
highways and city streets by simply entering a location in the navigation
system, but it is still considered a level 2 driver assist since it
requires driver supervision at all times. The driver remains responsible
for the vehicle, and needs to keep their hands on the steering wheel, ready
to take control.
