Tesla Rolls Out Full Self-Driving Update

Tesla has begun rolling out the FSD (Full Self-Driving) v12.5.1 update to select vehicles, promising significant advancements in its autonomous driving technology. This update integrates urban and highway driving capabilities, which were previously managed separately.

Key Highlights of Tesla FSD v12.5.1 Update

• Unified Driving Functions: Combines urban and highway driving features into a single system.
• Enhanced Lane Changes: Improved lane change performance with earlier and more natural transitions.
• Upgraded Driver Monitoring: Better monitoring systems for increased safety.
• Expanded Compatibility: Initially available on the Cybertruck, with plans to extend to other models.

The update, associated with software version 2024.20.15, represents a significant step forward in Tesla’s development of autonomous driving technology. Elon Musk has expressed confidence that this update will reduce the need for driver interventions per mile.

Additionally, the upcoming “Actual Smart Summon” feature will debut in this version, functioning independently from the main FSD system.

Currently, the rollout is focused on Model Y vehicles equipped with HW4 hardware, but Tesla aims to broaden the FSD v12.5 compatibility to include more models in the future.
