Tesla's autonomous driving package will soon see the light of day. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Monday the company will launch its next-gen Full Self Driving (FSD) set of features to "a small number of people who are expert & careful drivers."
The beta will become available on Tuesday, Oct. 20, said by Musk.
The details on the "beta" version that will become available to select drivers next week are slim, but Musk is talking about driving with zero interventions (in August he said "almost zero interventions"), meaning drivers should be able to let their Tesla drive itself while monitoring it and keeping their hands on the wheel.
Tesla buyers can dish out an extra $8,000 for FSD right now (the price has been steadily increasing over the years), but they won't get autonomous driving right away. Instead, FSD (as available to the wider public right now) has semi-autonomous driving features such as automatic highway driving, lane changes, and parking, as well as the ability to summon a car in a parking lot and assisted stops at traffic-controlled intersections.
