Tesla, an American electric vehicle company , has become a hot topic by releasing so-called ‘hands-free’ driving scenes on social networks ( SNS ), in which both hands are removed from the steering wheel.
Tesla posted a 5-minute video on X (formerly Twitter) on the 18th (local time). This is a 5-minute video demonstrating the demo version of FSD ( Full-Self Driving ) , an autonomous driving support software, on a road in downtown Austin, Texas, USA . Considering that the 5-minute video is played quickly at 2.5x to 50x speed, the actual driving time is estimated to be about 10 minutes.
In the video, the driver drove the Model S and entered a destination on the map on the display. After that, I turned on the FSD function and took both hands off, and then both feet off the accelerator pedal and brake. Then the stopped vehicle turned the steering wheel on its own and started driving.
Afterwards, the Model S ran on the road without driver intervention. I was able to change signals, change lanes, and cut in without any problems, and even adjusted the vehicle’s speed depending on the situation. I left the city road and naturally entered the freeway ramp. Tesla said it had disabled the driver’s ‘Request to Drive’ feature in its demonstration vehicles.
Last August, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was known to have turned off the self-driving request function when broadcasting live self-driving cars on his smartphone, saying, “I am going to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg ’s house to have a showdown with him.” However, the live broadcast at the time was not successful due to poor filming methods and video quality, and several problems were discovered in the FSD system itself.
Accordingly, Tesla released an improved video regarding the 스포츠토토latest FSD beta. It appears that the intention is to once again emphasize advanced autonomous driving technology by properly showing a scene where hands are completely removed from the steering wheel.
However, disabling the direct driving request function is currently not possible for regular Tesla customers. If the driver takes his or her hands off the steering wheel for more than a certain period of time, a warning is sent, and if the warning is ignored, the autonomous driving function is automatically disabled. This is to prevent drinking and sexual activity while driving, which have been controversial in the past. Tesla said, “Drivers must remain attentive even during autonomous driving and be prepared to take over driving at any time.”
Tesla FSD has been continuously updated since its launch in 2019 and is currently at version 11. There is also a beta version of FSD that allows autonomous driving in the city . Tesla said, “ The FSD beta in today’s demonstration video is V11.4.7 , which has been distributed since last August .” The FSD
that Musk broadcast live is version 12, which has not yet been released, and is a ‘pure artificial intelligence ( AI ) driving’ that is different from the existing version. The AI was trained solely using driving images, excluding any ‘driving command’ code from human developers . Experts predict that FSD V12 will be commercialized sometime next year. In the third quarter earnings announcement on the 18th, Musk said, “ I believe the potential of V12 is quite large,” and “ We will continue to invest in the development of AI , which is a game changer.” In fact, Tesla recently added a feature to the European market that uses an indoor camera to detect drowsy driving and send a warning. This means that there are no major technical problems in checking whether the driver is concentrating on driving. A domestic Tesla investor predicted, “Tesla is likely to apply ‘hands-free’ autonomous driving in FSD V12 ,” and added, “We will update it so that the warning sound does not sound even if you do not hold the steering wheel.”
