  Hey everybody. Welcome back to the Elon Musk
• 0:04
  podcast this. Is a show where we discuss the
• 0:07
  critical crossroads, the shape SpaceX.

  Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink and I'm.

  Elon Musk has announced that Tesla's forthcoming software
• 0:19
  update for its self driving FSD system will dramatically reduce
• 0:23
  the need for driver intervention by 5 to 10 times of.
• 0:27
  This update is dubbed Supervised Full Self Driving Version 12.4
• 0:33
  and it's part of a series of enhancements that leverage
• 0:35
  Tesla's all natural net architecture, which is no longer
• 0:40
  limited by computational power for training.
• 0:43
  Now, the FSD 12.4 update is set to transition to internal
• 0:47
  release softly and shortly, and will be accessible to a select
• 0:51
  group of external beta testers next week.
• 0:55
  Now, Musk has said that these advancements could mark a
• 0:58
  crucial stage in the development of autonomous driving tech,
• 1:01
  suggesting a significant leap for the improvements noted in
• 1:04
  the previous 12.3 version update.
• 1:08
  And beyond the immediate release.
• 1:09
  Musk has also shed light on 12.5, which is scheduled for
• 1:13
  release in late June. This update promises further
• 1:15
  enhancements and as significant as it introduces single stack
• 1:19
  operational mode, eliminating separate processes during
• 1:23
  highway driving. Now, while these updates focus
• 1:26
  on improving the tech, Tesla has not publicly released detailed
• 1:30
  performance data for the FSD program.
• 1:32
  However, based on Musk's statements, the transition from
• 1:35
  12.3 to 12.4 appears to be a major update in reducing the
• 1:40
  frequency of driver interventions.
• 1:42
  Musk also touched upon the integration of FSD technology,
• 1:47
  the Tesla Cybertruck, indicating that the vehicle will receive
• 1:50
  its first FSD capabilities with the 12.5 update.
• 1:55
  This rollout is particularly noteworthy as it will be the
• 1:58
  first application of FSD in this unique version model, which
• 2:02
  features distinct hardware configurations such as a steer
• 2:06
  by wire system and different camera placements compared to
• 2:09
  other Tesla models. Now the Cybertruck has been
• 2:12
  available for around six months without the FSD feature.
• 2:15
  The upcoming update is expected to address this, aligning it
• 2:18
  with the other models in Tesla's lineup that already benefit from
• 2:21
  this advanced driving technology.
• 2:23
  And the introduction of FSD to the Cybertruck represents an
• 2:26
  important test case for Tesla. Successfully implementing the
• 2:29
  technology in this model could pave the way for future
• 2:32
  expansions in a different vehicle types, demonstrating
• 2:35
  Tesla's ability to adapt its autonomous driving technology
• 2:39
  across its product line. And another significant
• 2:41
  development from Tesla is the recent spring update for its
• 2:44
  vehicles. Initially thought to be
• 2:46
  exclusive to newer models with Ryzen processors, this update
• 2:50
  has been extended to older versions of Tesla's equipped
• 2:53
  with Intel Atom processors. Now the Spring update version
• 2:58
  2024 point 14.3 includes several new features and enhancements,
• 3:02
  such as a new user interface inspired by the Cybertruck full
• 3:06
  screen visualizations and updated media player controls.
• 3:10
  These features were first introduced in vehicles with
• 3:13
  Ryzen processors, but are now available to older models,
• 3:16
  addressing some disparities between different hardware
• 3:18
  generations within the Tesla fleet.
• 3:21
  Now, despite the broader rollout, there are limitations
• 3:23
  to the features available on Intel Atom equipped vehicles.
• 3:27
  For instance, while these vehicles now have access to
• 3:29
  improve media player controls and driver visualizations, they
• 3:32
  do not support the new 3D parked visualizations that have been
• 3:36
  well received in Ryzen equipped models.
• 3:38
  Tesla appears committed to continuing enhancements for its
• 3:41
  several models, and the company is exploring ways to optimize
• 3:44
  more sophisticated features for the less powerful Intel Atom
• 3:48
  processors, potentially involving simplified graphics or
• 3:53
  alternative implementation strategies to accommodate the
• 3:55
  hardware's limitations. Now, the adaptation of advanced
• 4:00
  features across different platforms is a testament to
• 4:04
  Tesla's ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience for
• 4:07
  all of its customers, regardless of the age of specifications of
• 4:11
  their vehicles. And the wide-ranging updates
• 4:14
  across Tesla's lineup, from the FSD improvements in upcoming
• 4:17
  releases to the expanded features in the spring update,
• 4:20
  show that the company's drive to push technology boundaries and
• 4:24
  innovation across its entire product line continue on.
• 4:28
  And as Tesla prepares to release these updates, we are going to
• 4:32
  now edit this out. The success of these rollouts
• 4:36
  could influence the market's reception of autonomous driving
• 4:38
  technologies and Tesla's position in it.
• 4:41
  And with these developments, Tesla continues to solidify its
• 4:44
  reputation as a leader in both EV tech and autonomous driving
• 4:49
  AI technology. And the upcoming releases are
• 4:52
  poised to be a very significant usability and safety enhancement
• 4:56
  update, marking important milestones in Tesla's journey
• 5:00
  now for Tesla owners, especially with older models.
• 5:03
  These updates provide reassurances that their vehicles
• 5:06
  remain competitive and capable and drivable.
• 5:09
  And they're also benefiting from the latest advancements in AI
• 5:13
  technology. And as the release dates for
• 5:15
  these updates approach, it's expected to bring not only
• 5:19
  enhanced performance and new features, but also a new
• 5:22
  commitment by Tesla to improving the driving experience for all
• 5:26
  Tesla drivers, whether it's an older model or a brand new cyber
• 5:30
  truck. Hey, thank you.
