After gradually expanding access<\/a> to its so-called full self-driving (FSD)<\/a> beta for the last few years, Tesla is opening it up to anyone who has paid for it, Elon Musk announced in a tweet<\/a>. “Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FSD is an extension of Tesla’s “Autopilot” driver-assist feature, expanding on the latter with automated functions like automated steering in cities, automatic parking, smart vehicle summoning and traffic light\/stop sign recognition. The feature is a paid upgrade priced at $15,000 following a price hike of $3,000 in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option. <\/p>\n

Congrats to Tesla Autopilot\/AI team on achieving a major milestone!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 24, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Tesla first promised<\/a> to launch full self-driving features in 2018, but they only finally appeared<\/a> in July 2021 to a small number of “expert and careful drivers.” It was released more widely in the version 9.0 beta<\/a>, but testers were limited to an early access program. On the last FSD release, Tesla dropped the requirement<\/a> for at least 100 Autopilot miles and an 80 safety score, and now anyone who wants it can have it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Tesla is rolling out FSD widely at a time when it’s under scrutiny from regulators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently expanded<\/a> its investigation into a series of Tesla crashes involving first responders to most models. In a separate probe, it’s also looking into more than 30 incidents involving Autopilot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk has promised full self-driving with no one behind the wheel for some time now. Most recently, he said he thought it could arrive this year, but backed off<\/a> those claims in Tesla’s latest earnings report. Tesla’s stock has been on a steep decline of late, following Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
