Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, version 12.3.6, marks a significant milestone in autonomous driving technology, prompting Tesla to transition all vehicles, including those limited to older software versions, to the latest iteration.
Rolled out alongside software update 2024.14.5, the move reflects Tesla’s confidence in the maturity of its FSD system and its readiness for wider deployment across the Tesla fleet.
Following Elon Musk’s decision to remove the beta label from FSD, signifying its transition to fully developed software, Tesla initiated the deployment of FSD V12 on new vehicles and those returning from service. Additionally, Tesla offered a complimentary one-month FSD trial to eligible vehicles, extending the accessibility of autonomous driving features.
While the transition streamlines software versions across Tesla vehicles, challenges arise from managing multiple software builds installed in Tesla electric vehicles. Tesla’s software branches, including stable and cutting-edge builds, necessitate careful coordination to ensure seamless updates and feature integration.
Despite the complexities, Tesla’s commitment to advancing autonomous driving technology remains steadfast, with the latest update poised to enhance driving capabilities and pave the way for future innovations in self-driving technology.
