Tesla regularly releases beta versions of Fully Autonomous Driving (FSD) every two weeks. FSD Beta 9.2 version was released early this morning. Although FSD still has a long way to go to completely replace human drivers, the performance is already very good. Musk said that it will not be widely released before version 10, and it is not clear which Tesla owners will get the update.
Tesla said that this update is a minor update, but the content of the update log is still very rich:
- Promote Clear-to-go on the turn from the minor road to the main road (planned to extend to all roads in version 9.3).
- Improved peek feature: By reasoning about the reason for the slowness of the guided vehicle, we can know more intelligently when to bypass the guided vehicle.
- Multi-modal prediction v1 of the expected driving position of other vehicles. This is currently only a partial consumption.
- The new lane network contains more than 50 clips from the new automatic marking pipeline (almost twice).
- The new VRU speed model has increased the speed by 12% and has better VRU accessibility performance. This is the first model trained using Quantization-Aware-Training, which is an improved technique to reduce int8 quantization.
- Enable inter-SoC synchronization calculation scheduling between vision and vector space processes. The planner in the loop occurs in V10.
- The new shadow mode of interleaving/merging target networks will help improve VRU control.
The YouTube channel Chuck Cook released a 10-minute night driving video. The most obvious improvement seems to be a new acceleration behavior. The car accelerates to take advantage of opportunities, just like a human driver.
