First Drives: Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta 10.9 [VIDEOS]

Earlier this evening, Tesla started rolling out its Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta 10.9 for testers as part of the 2021.44.30.10 update, and now we’re seeing some first drives of the latest beta.

According to FSD beta 10.9 release notes, the system is supposed to improve left turns as part of improvements, so this was an area of focus by early videos. Check out some of the first videos below:
