  • Tesla Releases New FSD Beta With Improved Object Detection

    Tesla Releases New FSD Beta With Improved Object Detection

    Tesla has come under fire for its FSD beta which hasn’t lived up to Elon Musk’s lofty claims of disrupting the self-driving space. In fact, it is fundamentally a level 2 ADAS system. Now it has released a new update that promises better object detection for its so-called self-driving capability.

    According to Tesla, the owners have a safety score of 98 and upwards thanks to a new object detection architecture for non-VRUs like cars, trucks, and buses marking a seven percent higher recall and 16 percent lower depth error rate and 21 percent lower velocity error for crossing vehicles.

    It also brings a new visibility network with 18.5 percent less mean relative error. Tesla also claims more room for longitudinal alignment during merges.

    This however is still a system that needs the driver to have his / her hand on the wheel, even if the car drives on its own. Tesla’s CEO, Musk has often called this system a full self-driving system but many experts claim this is just a level 2 self-driving system.

  • Tesla Rolls Out FSD Beta V10 To Early Access Fleet

    Tesla Rolls Out FSD Beta V10 To Early Access Fleet

    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.

  • Tesla Plans To Deploy FSD Software To Public In Four Weeks

    Tesla Plans To Deploy FSD Software To Public In Four Weeks

    Tesla has said that it plans of releasing the final version of its full self-driving software to the public in a month’s time. As of now it is still in a beta stage being tested by internal Tesla employees and members of the beta program. This program has been ongoing for almost a year now. This software is different from AutoPilot as it allows the car to drive by itself using computer vision on highways and city streets. This, however, is still considered to be level 2 autonomous system.

    Recently, Tesla’s CEO revealed that the current beta build of the FSD software 9.2 isn’t great but he has noticed great improvements in the 9.3 software which is he already using. Elon Musk had stated that the program will come out of beta once it hits version 10. The FSD software has been promised to users who have opted for the FSD package. This release has been in limbo for a while.

    Now, Musk has announced plans to accelerate the release stating that v10 of the software will be pushed to early access members in a beta stage next week. Musk expects testing for the v10 build to last 4 weeks before a wider release.

    “We should be there with Beta 10, which goes out a week from Friday (no point release this week). It will have a completely retrained NN, so will need another few weeks after that for tuning & bug fixes. Best guess is a public beta button in less than 4 weeks,” he said.

    This release is going to be an over-the-air update for the folks who have purchased the FSD package and will be downloadable by a push of a button. Tesla has moved to a full vision-based system for its autonomous technology using cameras on its cars that ping back some data to its Dojo supercomputer which trains algorithms using a neural network. Tesla’s process the information based on these algorithms in real-time using a the FSD chip that’s present on many of its vehicles.

    Tesla will deploy the next generation of its FSD hardware next year with a new chip and camera system that Musk says will debut with the Cybertruck.
