  Tesla has initiated the deployment of its latest full
• 0:50
  Self driving software version, or the FSD.
• 0:53
  This is version 12 point 3.4, which is a pretty OK update for
• 0:58
  Tesla and they're driving assistance systems, you know It
• 1:03
  caught attention by electric vehicle enthusiasts, Tesla
• 1:07
  owners, especially legacy model owners on this update and
• 1:11
  positive feedback has started with the Tesla community,
• 1:14
  particularly from those who have received the FSD supervised 12.4
• 1:19
  or 12 point 3.4 update. So the initial reactions here
• 1:23
  suggest an enhancement in the system's performance and
• 1:25
  capabilities. This is contributing to the
• 1:28
  growing anticipation and discussion among all Tesla
• 1:31
  owners, but especially older Tesla owners.
• 1:34
  Older model Tesla owners. Now this is an unexpected
• 1:37
  development with this extension of this update to older Model S
• 1:41
  and Model X update vehicles. Now the legacy vehicles here
• 1:45
  equipped with earlier versions of Tesla's hardware have been
• 1:48
  included in the rollout providing they have undergone
• 1:52
  the MCU 2 upgrade. Now, this decision by Tesla
• 1:56
  extends the benefits of the new FSD version to a broader range
• 1:59
  of its fleet of vehicles. Now, the software tracking
• 2:02
  platform, not a Tesla app, disclose the release notes for
• 2:06
  the FSD supervised version 12 point 3.4 within the 2024 three
• 2:12
  .15 update. Interestingly, these notes
• 2:15
  mirror those of its predecessor, 12 Point 3.3, indicating a
• 2:19
  continuity in the features and improvements offered by the FSD
• 2:23
  system, which has moved beyond its beta phase now.
• 2:27
  Tesla's own description of the FSD capabilities shows that
• 2:30
  they're getting more sophisticated while emphasizing
• 2:33
  the necessity for driver vigilance.
• 2:36
  The company states. Under your supervision, full
• 2:39
  self driving supervised can drive your Tesla almost
• 2:42
  anywhere. It will make lane changes,
• 2:44
  select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate
• 2:46
  around other vehicles and objects, and make left and right
• 2:49
  turns. You and anyone you authorized
• 2:51
  must use additional caution and remained attentive.
• 2:54
  Does that make your vehicle autonomous?
• 2:56
  Do not become complacent. Now, this is different from
• 3:01
  older releases where they don't mention a lot of this stuff.
• 3:04
  They don't mention a lot of supervised driving here.
• 3:11
  So they're may basically saying, hey, you have to be in control
• 3:16
  of your vehicle, but also we're going to take control of your
• 3:18
  vehicle at the same time. Be attentive, Do what you got to
• 3:20
  do. Pretend you're kind of driving,
• 3:22
  but just stay aware of what's happening now.
• 3:25
  Do not become complacent. That's important here now.
• 3:27
  Meanwhile, Tesla Scope, another software tracking service, has
• 3:30
  reported some technical hitches with the 20243.15 update, noting
• 3:35
  a higher than usual rate of installation failures.
• 3:38
  And Tesla is reportedly aware of these issues, is actively
• 3:41
  working on rectifying them, offering reassurance to affected
• 3:44
  drivers. No one's been bricked yet
• 3:47
  Everything looks OK. It's just going to take a little
• 3:49
  while to roll out some other people.
• 3:50
  Now, the new iteration of the FSD system as seen in action and
• 3:54
  early footage, shows notable advancements in its ability to
• 3:58
  navigate complex urban environments.
• 4:00
  This is huge. This is exemplified by a video
• 4:04
  from a season FSD tester which showcases the system refined
• 4:08
  navigation capabilities through city streets and people are
• 4:12
  posting videos all over the place on social media about this
• 4:16
  and it is looking pretty good for Tesla Now.
• 4:19
  Tesla's roll out of FSD 12 point 3.4 is part of a broader
• 4:22
  strategy to enhance its vehicle's autonomous driving
• 4:25
  capabilities. The inclusion of this update in
• 4:28
  the 20243.15 package extend FSD access to older Model S and
• 4:32
  Model X vehicles as well as newer Model 3, signaling a
• 4:37
  significant expansion of the tech across Tesla's lineup.
• 4:41
  Now the Cyber Truck remains an exception in Tesla's current
• 4:43
  portfolio regarding FSD accessibility.
• 4:47
  Given its recent introduction and ongoing production ramp up,
• 4:50
  the absence of FSD in the Cyber Truck aligns with expectations
• 4:54
  for newer model integrations. The transition from FSD beta to
• 4:58
  supervised with the previous 12 point 3.3 update set the stage
• 5:02
  for the broader application of the technology, including its
• 5:05
  availability for older vehicle models.
• 5:08
  Now this move shows that Tesla's continuously improving and
• 5:12
  expanding the reach of its autonomous driving technology,
• 5:15
  but also putting a little bit more into the driver's hands,
• 5:21
  making sure that they don't say that full self driving is
• 5:25
  actually autonomous driving. So you have to have a heads up
• 5:29
  supervised, you have supervised driving here.
• 5:32
  This goes against everything about full self driving that
• 5:34
  Tesla has been spouting about for the last decade or so that
• 5:41
  they could get these vehicles to full self driving capabilities.
• 5:46
  Possibly sometimes, Elon has said within a year, but that
• 5:50
  that was four years ago. So the transition for for the
• 5:53
  FSD beta to supervise with the previous 12 point 3.3 update set
• 5:59
  the stage for broader application of the technology.
• 6:03
  Of course, including those older vehicles and the improvements to
• 6:08
  Tesla's auto part feature and its expansion to vehicles
• 6:11
  equipped with ultrasonic sensors or USS, has been met with
• 6:14
  patience by owners. Focus of the latest update
• 6:17
  appears to be on broadening the availability of FSD version 12
• 6:21
  to more vehicles rather than enhancing specific features such
• 6:25
  as auto park. Now vehicles with USS are poised
• 6:28
  for future enhancements not only in Auto park functionality but
• 6:32
  also in high fidelity park assist features.
• 6:34
  These advancements were previously introduced to
• 6:37
  vehicles lacking USS, indicating A phased approach to future
• 6:41
  development. Now, a significant technology
• 6:44
  leap in the FSD supervised system is the integration of a
• 6:47
  single end to end neural network for city street driving.
• 6:50
  This network, trained on vast amounts of video data, replaces
• 6:54
  hundreds of thousands of lines of traditional coding, marking a
• 6:58
  pivotal shift in how Tesla approaches autonomous driving
• 7:01
  software development. They're using AI to study all of
• 7:06
  these vehicles in the streets, all of the driving, and getting
• 7:10
  rid of hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
• 7:13
  That was a software developer myself.
• 7:15
  I can understand trying to get rid of code and sometimes it's
• 7:18
  impossible. Luckily Tesla has very smart,
• 7:21
  very capable people that can train the neural networks and
• 7:25
  learn, teach the cars church, teach the full self driving, how
• 7:31
  to drive in the cities with just video.
• 7:34
  Now Tesla reiterates the operational guides for the FSD
• 7:37
  supervised feature and they need driver engagement oversight.
• 7:42
  With this one system is designed to be activated easily and can
• 7:45
  be disabled as needed, ensuring user control and safety.
• 7:49
  Now the Auto Park feature now enhanced offers updated parking
• 7:54
  capabilities, including parallel parking.
• 7:56
  That's a good one. I'm not that good at parallel
• 7:58
  parking. So when I get my hands on a
• 8:00
  Tesla with parallel parking features, Auto Park Wow, that's
• 8:04
  going to be a game changer for me.
• 8:06
  This feature identifies potential parking spots and
• 8:08
  guides the vehicle into them, further showcasing Tesla's
• 8:11
  advancements for the FSD and people like me who are horrible
• 8:16
  at parallel parking. I've tried so many times and it
• 8:18
  just doesn't work. I can't figure it out.
• 8:22
  Now. There's visual cues.
• 8:24
  Now they're displaced to identify viable parking spaces
• 8:26
  with auto parks suggesting specific spots, which is great.
• 8:30
  This interactive element on the Auto park system enhances the
• 8:32
  user experience by simplifying the parking process.
• 8:36
  This could really help in bigger cities where there's very little
• 8:39
  parking and where you have to squeeze into those tight spots.
• 8:42
  Maybe test that can help with that.
• 8:44
  We'll see in the future and we'll keep you covered with all
• 8:48
  the latest news about 1234 FD update in the future.
