Tesla has unveiled a new promotional video showing its latest supervised “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) technology, which is now being made available to more owners who have purchased or subscribed to the advanced driver-assist system.
The newly released video shows Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) technology navigating through challenging situations, such as detours, narrow passages, and unprotected turns, on city streets. While the system exhibits a high degree of autonomy, Tesla continues to remind drivers that they must remain alert and ready to take control at any moment.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a vocal advocate for FSD, praised the system in a comment about the video, saying driving with it feels “like magic.”
Reactions to the video were mixed, with some Tesla users voicing frustration over not yet receiving the latest FSD version, while others questioned the decision to post the ad on X, noting that many of the platform’s users are already familiar with the system’s capabilities.
Despite the advances in FSD technology, Tesla has faced some challenges. For instance, reports indicate that the system still struggles to function properly in tunnels, particularly one-way tunnels, which poses a significant issue for a feature labeled as “full self-driving.”
Tesla’s ongoing investment in its FSD program is evident through initiatives like Cortex, the supercomputer cluster at Giga Texas, and the upcoming Dojo supercomputer in Buffalo, New York. These advancements are part of Tesla’s commitment to refining the FSD system, a key feature for upcoming products such as the Robotaxi, which is expected to be revealed in October.
The global reach of Tesla’s FSD program has also expanded, particularly with its recent approval in China, the world’s largest automotive market. Following CEO Elon Musk’s visit to China earlier this year, Tesla gained permission to deploy its driver-assistance system in the country. This success was further supported by a mapping and navigation agreement with Chinese tech giant Baidu, as well as the resolution of prior data security concerns raised by the Chinese government.
