Tesla Highlights Enhanced Supervised Full Self-Driving Features in New Video
Tesla has released an eye-catching promotional video showcasing the advancements of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology. The new feature, currently being distributed to a growing number of owners who have either purchased or subscribed to the advanced driver-assist system, aims to elevate the driving experience by minimizing human intervention in inner-city driving scenarios.
Navigating Urban Challenges with Ease
The promotional video demonstrates FSD (Supervised) skillfully tackling complex city driving conditions, including detours, narrow gaps, and unprotected turns. This feature promises not only enhanced convenience but also a safer driving experience as the system adeptly manages challenging situations that often occur in urban environments.
Human Oversight Still Paramount
Despite the advanced capabilities of FSD (Supervised), Tesla maintains that drivers must always stay attentive and ready to take control if necessary. Each promotional video includes a disclaimer reinforcing this message, emphasizing the need for human oversight even as the technology continues to evolve.
CEO Elon Musk’s Enthusiastic Endorsement
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been a staunch advocate for FSD, and his enthusiasm was evident in his comments about the latest video. Via a quote post on social media platform X, Musk remarked that using FSD (Supervised) “feels like magic,” highlighting his optimism for the technology’s potential.
Mixed Reactions from the Community
The video and Musk’s comments have sparked diverse reactions among Tesla’s online followers. While some expressed excitement, others were frustrated, noting they haven’t yet received the latest version in their vehicles. Additionally, there was some criticism regarding the choice to post the advertisement on X, as users of the platform are generally well-versed in Tesla’s technological advancements.
Massive Investments in FSD Development
Tesla’s commitment to its Full Self-Driving program is underscored by significant investments in infrastructure. This includes the expansion of Cortex, a supercomputer cluster at Tesla’s Giga Texas, and the upcoming $500 billion Dojo supercomputer in Buffalo, New York. These developments are crucial as Tesla aims to integrate FSD into products like the Robotaxi, scheduled for an unveiling on October 10.
