Tesla started to officially launch the Full Self-Driving Beta 10.2 test version in the United States today and announced that it will gradually provide downloads to more users based on users’ safety scores.
It is reported that with Tesla FSD, users only need to enter a location in the navigation system to perform virtual autonomous driving on highways and city streets, but it is still an L2 driving assistance system, so the driver still needs to be responsible for the vehicle. You must put your hands on the steering wheel and be ready to take over the vehicle at any time.
This is the fully self-driving function that Elon Musk often mentioned before. Compared with similar products on the market that rely on high-precision maps, it can already be used in a wider range of applications.
Tesla has been testing the software for the past 12 months. The testing team consists of about 2,000 people, mainly employees and some car owners selected by Tesla. Now it is starting to promote it to more people. And the applicants with the highest safety score will be available first.
However, Tesla did not confirm how many people this represents, but Musk previously stated that there are about 1,000 people a day. For users who have purchased FSD, you can see a simple “download” button, and then you can request Tesla to determine whether you can be included in the list of new software through a period of driving data.

In addition, Tesla has repeatedly reminded that FSD is just called automatic driving and that it is not yet able to do automatic driving, and users must always pay attention. Fully automatic driving is still in the early stage of limited access testing, and you must be extremely cautious when using it. It may react incorrectly at the worst possible time, so you must always keep your hands on the steering wheel and pay special attention to the road. Don’t be complacent.
When fully autonomous driving is turned on, your vehicle will change lanes outside the highway, follow your navigation route to select a fork in the road, bypass other vehicles and objects, and make left and right turn.
Only when you always pay attention to the road conditions and are ready to take immediate action, especially in blind spots, intersections and narrow driving environments, can you use fully automatic driving in the limited Beta version?
