Tesla Readies 10X-Parameter FSD Model for End-of-September Release

The company says video compression enhancements will boost visual fidelity in its FSD training data during federal safety reviews.

Overview

  • Tesla is training a new Full Self-Driving neural network with roughly ten times more parameters than its current version.
  • The upgraded model features significant improvements in video compression loss to preserve finer visual detail during AI training.
  • Elon Musk indicated that the system could be available to customers by late September if internal and on-road testing meet performance benchmarks.
  • Full Self-Driving remains classified as a Level 2 driver-assist system requiring motorists to keep their hands on the wheel and be ready to take control at any time.
  • Tesla’s Austin robotaxi service has continued to expand its geofenced operations under the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Defects Investigation’s scrutiny following four FSD-related crash reports.
