Predictably, and for once on time, Tesla has rolled out the v10 of the full self-driving beta software which Elon Musk described as mind-blowing just a few weeks ago. Perhaps, as most have noticed, the most mind-blowing thing is that Tesla and Musk delivered.

The software enables the self-driving capability for Tesla’s EVs that have the full self-driving package, but this capability is still adorned with astrix of level 2 autonomous capability, not level 4 which is the bare minimum number for self-driving cars that can operate in a hands-free manner.

Elon Musk had indicated earlier that the full self-driving software will be deployed soon when it hits v10 which now it has at least for the early access fleet, but soon if it is bug-ridden, it could be deployed to a wider audience. Many users have started reporting that they have received the update and posted screenshots of the same on Twitter.

One of the more notable changes is that the driver visualizations have been updated with a more modern and minimal look. Elon Musk has promised that it could be there for many other users by the end of the month with a download button in the offing but Musk has flattered to deceive not once but on numerous occasions.

Tesla announced earlier in the year that will stop using radars on its cars and will have a vision-based self-driving system that will use algorithms trained on its Dojo supercomputer which are processed on the device on the FSD computer on the vehicle itself. This has led some authorities to downgrade the safety rating of Tesla vehicles.

Questions & Answers

Q.

Which specific version of the full self-driving beta software has Tesla now released?

A.

Tesla has rolled out version 10 of its full self-driving beta software. This release was anticipated as Elon Musk had previously stated it would be deployed once it reached this version.

Q.

Does this new FSD software allow Tesla cars to operate fully autonomously and hands-free?

A.

No, the software still has the asterisk of level 2 autonomous capability. True hands-free self-driving requires at least level 4 autonomy, which this update does not provide.

Q.

What significant change has Tesla made to the technology underpinning its self-driving system?

A.

Tesla announced earlier in the year that it would stop using radars. The company is now moving to a vision-based self-driving system, relying on algorithms trained on its Dojo supercomputer.
