Tesla Demonstrates 362-Mile Zero-Intervention FSD Drive

Tesla’s customer-grade FSD remains supervised with driver monitoring, preparing a ten-times-larger neural model for a late-September rollout under regulatory review.

Overview

  • A company video shows a Model Y completing a roughly 362-mile drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles without any steering interventions and with a single Supercharger stop.
  • Tesla reiterates that its public Full Self-Driving offering operates at Level 2 under “Supervised” conditions, using a cabin-facing camera to ensure drivers stay attentive.
  • The invite-only Robotaxi pilot in Austin continues on a separate, non-public FSD stack that Tesla says requires no one behind the wheel.
  • Elon Musk says Tesla is training a new neural network with about ten times more parameters and improved video compression for a potential release by the end of September if internal tests succeed.
  • Federal and state agencies, including NHTSA and the U.S. DOT Office of Defects Investigation, have requested data and are reviewing Tesla’s long-distance demos and Robotaxi operations.
