Tesla first started the global rollout of its software update 2024.20.15, featuring Full Self-Driving (FSD) 12.5.1 two days ago, and now we’re seeing a wide release according to Elon Musk.
2024.20.15 release notes detail that the city-streets driving stack is now a single end-to-end neural network, replacing over 300,000 lines of explicit C++ code. It includes improvements such as earlier and more natural lane change decisions, vision-only driver monitoring with sunglasses, and end-to-end highway driving capabilities. FSD will also be available on the Cybertruck (coming in mid-August).
The update includes Vision-Based Attention Monitoring, which relies on the cabin camera to determine driver attentiveness and provides warnings for inattention. The Autopilot Suspension feature ensures maximum safety by suspending use if improper usage is detected.
Additional features from previous versions are included in this update. Headlights now adapt for curves, Beach Buggy Racing 2 offers Supercharger Races, and various hot weather and security improvements have been made. The update also incorporates Full Self-Driving (Supervised), allowing the vehicle to drive almost anywhere under supervision, making lane changes and navigating around objects. This builds on prior updates that introduced features such as a trip progress bar, speed camera chime, and better route suggestions.
