On December 9, it was reported that recently, according to the report of IT Home, Tesla has pushed the 2022.8.10.8 car engine system to foreign users. It is reported that some owners of Model S and Model X feedback that they can apply for FSD beta update after updating this version, which means that Model S and Model X owners in North America can now "taste" the fully automated FSD beta in advance.

According to Xiao Lei, the FSD Beta is a test version of Tesla's "fully automated driving". Previously, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, said that in the year since Tesla launched the FSD Beta software, the vehicles involved in the project have never had any accidents. It can be seen that Tesla's "fully automated driving" technology is extremely advanced and has basically taken the lead in most car enterprises.
Not long ago, the FSD beta version has been fully launched in North America, which is a historic moment for Tesla. It not only indicates that the FSD automatic driving technology has reached a new height, but also allows Tesla to collect more data in the actual driving scene to further optimize the FSD automatic driving technology, To prepare for the comprehensive promotion and popularization of fully automated driving technology in the future.

Objectively speaking, Tesla's FSD Beta is still not up to the standard of fully automated driving, because after enabling this function, drivers still need to be vigilant and take over the vehicle at any time during driving, which also reflects from the side that we are still a long way away from the true era of automated driving. However, at present, Tesla has a clear plan for automatic driving technology. With the continuous change and progress of automatic driving technology, Tesla may be able to achieve true "automatic driving" in the future.

At present, automatic driving technology still has great limitations. In particular, Tesla's pure vision solution may be difficult to deal with complex travel environment. Due to the lack of help from intelligent hardware such as laser radar, the vehicle's perception of the environment will decline, especially in low visibility environments such as rainy days and nights, the accuracy of the pure vision scheme will be worse.
In the past, rumors about Tesla losing control frequently appeared. Both Tesla and its automatic driving technology have been questioned. Time has yet to test whether it is mature. For consumers, the Tesla FSD automatic driving technology is not perfect at this stage. It is not worth spending so much money to install an imperfect auxiliary driving function. It is not too late to try this part of the function after the technology is mature.
