Tesla is lastly wide-releasing Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised v13 to autos with {Hardware} 4 computer systems. CEO Elon Musk commented on the discharge with a well-known remark: “Your thoughts will likely be blown,” once more.
The extremely anticipated FSD v13 replace was October’s fundamental objective in Tesla’s new month-to-month AI roadmaps, which it gave up on after 2 months as a result of it missed too many objectives, together with v13, which slipped into the November roadmap.
Tesla ended up pushing v13.1 to a restricted variety of autos in the previous few hours of November, but it surely was a dumb downed model with out a number of the main enhancements that had been introduced within the product roadmap.
Now, with FSD v13.2.1, Tesla has introduced that it was vast releasing the replace to prospects with autos geared up with its HW4 (AI4) pc. Tesla’s head of self-driving, Ashok Elluswamy, commented on the discharge:
FSD v13.2.1 is now rolling out vast to AI4 prospects! That plus the vacation automobile software program replace is coming inside every week. Workforce’s engaged on a a lot up to date v12.6 for AI3 prospects by finish of this 12 months.
Regardless of Musk saying final 12 months that Tesla drivers with the older HW3 pc would get updates 6 months upfront of HW4 house owners as a result of they’ve been ready longer, Tesla has reserved its plan and now HW3 house owners are usually not getting the identical capabilities as HW4 house owners.
Electrek reported that Tesla is reaching the bounds of its HW3 pc regardless of being nowhere close to unsupervised self-driving capabilities.
Elluswamy now says that HW3 house owners can now count on “a a lot up to date v12.6.”
Musk additionally commented on the replace, saying that it’s going to “blow your thoughts”, but it surely’s actually one thing that he stated about each new Tesla FSD replace:
Tesla FSD has made enhancements over the previous few years, however it’s nonetheless removed from being able to reaching unsupervised self-driving – one thing that Musk claimed Tesla would obtain yearly for the final 5 years.
Electrek’s Take
I’m wanting ahead to making an attempt v13, and as I stated earlier than, I consider it should lead to a major enchancment in miles between disengagement, however much less so now that it doesn’t embody a 3 times enchancment in mannequin measurement scaling and mannequin context size scaling.
Proper now, the same old Tesla influencers are all raving about it and saying all the identical issues they are saying with each new model, very similar to Elon, but it surely’s onerous to offer them a lot credibility about this, like Elon.
