Tesla CEO Elon Musk has detailed what’s coming next for the company’s Full Self-Driving feature within Autopilot.
On Friday, Musk provided more details in regards to the rewrite of Full Self-Driving, saying, “The FSD improvement will come as a quantum leap, because it’s a fundamental architectural rewrite, not an incremental tweak. I drive the bleeding edge alpha build in my car personally. Almost at zero interventions between home & work. Limited public release in 6 to 10 weeks.”

When asked if FSD would be able to get around potholes, Musk replied, “Yes! We’re labeling bumps & potholes, so the car can slow down or steer around them when safe to do so.

The details about the FSD rewrite were follow up tweets to Musk’s announcement, “Tesla is developing a NN training computer called Dojo to process truly vast amounts of video data. It’s a beast! Please consider joining our AI or computer/chip teams if this sounds interesting.”
Also coming soon to Autopilot visualizations will be outlines of actual Tesla vehicles in colour as well.
We shall await more FSD updates and battery news when Tesla holds its annual shareholder meeting and Battery Day on September 22.
