Overview

• Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed the rollout of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) Version 12 to employees, which he previously hinted would achieve full autonomy.
• Musk clarified that not all Tesla employees receive the latest FSD updates, but only those on the quality assurance team.
• The FSD V12 update is critical to Tesla's goal of achieving self-driving capability, with vehicle controls being taken over by neural nets rather than being hardcoded by engineers.
• Despite the rollout, Tesla has not yet taken responsibility for the system, meaning drivers are still required to monitor FSD at all times and be ready to take control.
• Regulatory approval is still required for Tesla to achieve levels 3, 4, or 5 autonomy, which may take months or even years.
