Tesla took to Twitter (er, X … ruining my alliteration) this week to share with followers what its roadmap is for the approaching months. Virtually all of this pertains to Full Self Driving (FSD).

You’ll be able to see the total replace within the screenshot under, however I’ll additionally put it into textual content to be able to focus on a few of these issues level by level.

September 2024

• v12.5.2 with ~3x improved miles between vital interventions
  • Observe: I’m unsure how Tesla is figuring out “vital interventions.” There should be an especially excessive variety of FSD interventions each day — how is Tesla categorizing and calculating these? Or is it speaking about “vital interventions” amongst its personal in-house testers? In any case, an goal of ~3× enchancment appears optimistic and notable.
• v12.5.2 on AI3 pc (unified fashions for AI3 and AI4)
• Truly Good Summon
  • Observe: This has began rolling out. It’s solely rolled out to a small share of Tesla house owners, however that is in all probability only a precautionary measure and it’ll roll out extensively all through the approaching weeks.
• Cybertruck Autopark
• Eye-tracking with sun shades
  • Observe: Whereas v12.5 of FSD made it the place drivers not have to maneuver the wheel each few moments, as David Havasi defined in our most up-to-date FSD check drive video, in case you had sun shades on, Tesla’s eye-tracking expertise wasn’t too happy and FSD reverted to creating the driving force transfer the wheel each couple of minutes. It appears Tesla is studying to penetrate these shades and implement eye monitoring with sun shades on as effectively.
• Finish-to-Finish community on freeway
• Cybertruck FSD
  • Observe: I’m curious to learn the way effectively FSD does with a Cybertruck. Will it’s mainly the identical as with every different Tesla, or will it function a bit otherwise or run into problems with its personal? I assume the previous, however am curious to see.

October 2024

• Unpark, Park and Reverse in FSD
  • Observe: That is the one I’m particularly excited for. It’s probably not the largest deal, nevertheless it’s the one hole that’s not but closed to make Tesla FSD end-to-end self-driving, parking spot to parking spot. So, I’m desperate to see this in motion and at last expertise it. That mentioned … Tesla’s Autopark characteristic has by no means been one thing I’m significantly comfy with, so I could also be fairly nervous attending to the purpose of attempting this out. Nicely, I’m certain we’ll try it out with David’s automobile first since he has the newer FSD {hardware} and can get the replace first. 😀 
• v13 with ~6x improved miles between vital interventions
  • Observe: Clearly, as we will see, Tesla’s concentrating on sturdy progress in enhancements month after month. We’ll see if it lastly can obtain this in a steady method with out operating into one other hurdle or native most or whatnot. Keep tuned.

Q1 2025

• FSD in Europe (pending regulatory approval)
• FSD in China (pending regulatory approval)

On these final two issues, it’s onerous to know the way a lot that is anticipated versus merely hopeful. Presumably, as a result of model 12 is so significantly better than earlier variations and fairly good, Tesla may get approval in at the very least China, and possibly Europe. Nonetheless, we don’t actually know but how keen Europe can be to let Tesla drivers check out the considerably nebulous AI system on public roads. Although, if I used to be pressured to guess, I’d guess Tesla will get approval within the first half of 2025, or at the very least by the tip of 2025.
