Tesla has recently introduced an update to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software, which promises to deliver a more refined and confident driving experience. The new version, FSD Beta 12.12, has been deployed to Tesla customers, boasting an enhanced neural network that replaces previous coding for improved city street navigation. This update is trained on a multitude of video clips and has eliminated the need for over 300,000 lines of explicit C++ code.
Advancements in Autonomy
Owners who have experienced the new software update have reported an increase in the accuracy and confidence of their vehicle’s autonomous functions. Some have noted that their Teslas are capable of completing complex drives without the need for any human intervention. This signifies a significant step forward in Tesla’s pursuit of fully autonomous driving.
New Speed Adjustment Feature
An additional feature introduced in this update is the “Automatic Set Speed Offset,” which allows Tesla vehicles to adapt their speed to the surrounding traffic flow more naturally. This feature considers various factors such as road type, traffic conditions, environmental factors, and the speed limit when determining the most appropriate driving speed. The feature is designed to enable the vehicle to blend seamlessly with the pace of other traffic participants.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has acknowledged the necessity for improvements in the FSD Beta software, particularly in areas with heavy precipitation. Musk has emphasized the importance of ongoing training and refinement to ensure the system’s reliability and safety under diverse weather conditions.
