After releasing Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta 10.69.1 for employees and customer testers today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has shared his thoughts on the latest release and reiterated what’s next.
In regards to FSD beta 10.69.1, Musk says the latter is “even better” than 10.69. As for improvements? Musk said, “we reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”
When asked by @WholeMarsBlog to release FSD beta 10.69.1 to all original testers, Musk replied on Tuesday afternoon, “10.69.2 goes out to 100k owners next week.”

On Sunday, Musk said FSD beta 10.69.1 would release for 1,000 testers first, then expand to 10,000 owners “if no major issues.” He added at the time, hopefully, FSD beta 10.69.2 would be available next week, with the latter version considered the “wide release beta”.
As of Tesla’s Q2, the company said they have driven over 35 million miles with FSD beta. At the time, Tesla said FSD beta was on track to release for all North American customers before the end of 2022, and possibly Europe, depending on regulators. Tesla said at this time it had over 100,000 FSD beta testers, and this whole group is expected to get access to FSD beta 10.69.2 next week.
