Tesla to Launch Beta Version of 'Full Self-Driving’ System on October 20, But only to ‘Careful’ Drivers

News 18  

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has revealed that the company will launch its next-gen Full Self Driving set of features to a limited number of expert and careful drivers on October 20. This will, at first, be limited to a small number of people who are expert and careful drivers,” Musk said in a tweet on Monday. Musk has been talking about FSD a lot in the past couple of years, calling it an investment in the future that will become far more valuable once fully autonomous cars get regulatory approval. Tesla also rolled out the 2019.40.2 version of its software to some electric vehicle owners and this update includes features like Adjacent Lane Speed Adjustments and Stop Sign Detection that are required for FSD.
