"Tesla Updates Self-Driving Roadmap: v13 Slips, New Promises"

...Source: https://electrek.co/2024/10/31/tesla-... Transcript: According to Electrek, Tesla has delayed the release of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) v13 update until late November. This update was initially expected in October and promised significant improvements, including a 6x increase in miles between necessary interventions. However, current crowdsourced data shows the previous update, v12.5, may have regressed compared to earlier versions.

Tesla has rolled out some features to a limited number of customers, including "End-to-End highway driving," but only for those with the newer HW4 hardware. HW3 users, however, will not see these improvements yet. Tesla also plans to release "Actually Smart Summon" to Europe and China, though no specific timeline has been provided.

The company is targeting a wide release of FSD v13 around Thanksgiving, with enhancements like improved video inputs, better emergency vehicle handling, and smoother driving controls. However, these updates will primarily benefit HW4 users, leaving older HW3 systems behind. Tesla faces challenges in achieving its 2025 goal of 600,000 miles between critical disengagements.
