The Reality of Tesla AI Going “Unsupervised”

FSD Release & Technology - Tesla AI team is hinting at a June unsupervised FSD release, with a good track record around releases [2][3] - Tesla has been testing with 300 test operators in Austin to collect necessary safety data [4] - Robo taxi features are present but not yet available in the latest Tesla iOS app, including pickup, drop off, opening and closing doors, emergency stops [5][6] - The refreshed Model Y might be the initial vehicle for unsupervised FSD due to its additional front bumper camera [7][8] - FSD may attempt to drive anywhere within its geoence, unlike competitors that avoid certain roads [25] Market Perception & Challenges - Even with a successful launch, a narrative shift might not happen overnight due to psychic numbing and media coverage [13][14] - Perfection is impossible as long as driverless cars share roads with humans; a significant reduction in incidents is the realistic goal [17] - Tesla may not receive the same media leeway as other self-driving companies like Waymo [20] - Legacy news media is likely to paint a terrible picture of full self-driving, even if data shows it is saving lives [29] Future Outlook - AI drivers are improving while human drivers are becoming worse, making it a matter of time until AI's superiority is clear [30] - AI is expected to change the world in unimaginable ways [31]
