Tesla has recently rolled out software update 2024.39.10, which includes the highly anticipated Full Self-Driving 13.2 (Supervised) for limited external FSD testers. This update is specifically for AI4 (Hardware 4) vehicles, with no confirmation yet on when it will be available for AI3 (Hardware 3) vehicles.
The release notes and features for FSD 13.2 (Supervised) are as follows:
– 36 Hz, full-resolution AI4 video inputs
– Native AI4 inputs and neural network architectures
– 4.2x data scaling
– 5x training compute scaling enabled by the Cortex cluster
– Reduced photon-to-control latency by 2x
– Speed Profiles on both City Streets and Highways
– Start FSD (Supervised) from Park with the touch of a button
– Integrated unpark, reverse, and park capabilities
– Improved reward predictions for collision avoidance
– Improved camera cleaning
– Redesigned controller for smoother, more accurate tracking
– Dynamic routing around road closures with route updates displayed when detected by the fleet
Upcoming improvements for FSD include:
– 3x model size scaling
– 3x model context length scaling
– Audio inputs for better handling of emergency vehicles
– Improved reward predictions for navigation
– Improvements to false braking and slower driving in parking lots
– Support for destination options including pulling over, parking in a spot, driveway, or garage
– Efficient representation of maps and navigation inputs
– Improved handling of camera occlusions
Initial test drives of FSD 13.2 have been impressive, with Tesla owners such as @AIDRVR and Chuck Cook sharing their experiences on Twitter. Videos showcase the smooth merging and lane changes, as well as the ability of FSD to navigate parking lots and even back into Supercharger stalls autonomously.
Overall, the new features and improvements in FSD 13.2 (Supervised) are pushing the boundaries of autonomous driving technology and bringing Tesla closer to achieving full self-driving capabilities. With continuous updates and advancements, Tesla is paving the way for a future where self-driving cars are the norm on our roads.
