According to Musk, anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen will be able to use the full self- driving software. The US Department of Justice is looking into false claims relating to the company's advanced driver assistance system, called autopilot.
The autopilot feature is standard on the cars of the company. In addition to features like assisted steering on highways and city streets, smart vehicle summon, automatic parking and recognizing and reacting to traffic lights and stop signs, theftsd is an extension of autopilot that costs $15,000 in North America.
In the past few years, a number of fatal crashes have been caused by the use of autopilot, and by extension fsd. In the last two years, the NHTSA has opened investigations into 36 crashes involving the electric car company. Drivers in California claim that the company lied about the self-driving capabilities of its vehicles.
After the company dropped the requirement for 100 Autopilot miles and a safety score of at least 80 to receive the FSD update, some people predicted the company might allow it into all cars. Concerns have been raised that drivers using ADAS are less likely to watch the road and be alert in the event of a malfunction. Drivers are encouraged to keep their hands on the steering wheel.
Drivers who have already paid for the software will be able to use it in North America. In September, Musk made good on his promise to get FSD in everyTesla by the end of the year.
During the company's third quarter earnings Musk claimed that the company could achieve full-self driving by the end of the year, but he was wrong. The move to expand the number of users may be one of the reasons for the expansion.
It might be a move to make investors more comfortable. The company's stock price is at a two-year low and its market cap is at a two-year low, following Musk's takeover of the company.
The number of simulations per week has gone up from around 250,000 in 2020 to 2 million today, according to two engineers who spoke at a conference this week.
