The manufacturer from Silicon Valley offers a $15,000 software add-on dubbed “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) that allows its vehicles to execute lane changes and make parking manoeuvres by themselves. Its standard “Autopilot” capability, which enables automobiles to steer, accelerate, and brake within their lanes without human input, is complemented by that.The cars still require human supervision while being driven, though. Regulatory approval would be necessary for an entirely autonomous car.
All FSD users in North America will receive an upgraded version at the end of the year, according to Musk, who also added that although the cars aren’t yet ready to operate without a driver, they would rarely need to touch the controls. Musk made these remarks during a post-earnings call on Wednesday.
