IT House March 14 news, Tesla FSD beta version 10.11 has been pushed to the company's employees, the update instructions have also been shared online, providing some key improvements to the driver assistance system.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk pointed out on Twitter that if v10.11 performs well, Tesla will consider lowering the safety score requirement to participate in the program to 95 points, which is good news for car owners who are not currently eligible for the FSD test program.
Lowering the safety score to 95 will pave the way for more Tesla owners to join the FSD testing program. Many Tesla owners have expressed their willingness to help test the FSD beta, but the company's safety scoring system has made many ineligible. Currently, to participate in the FSD test program, car owners must have a safety score of 98 and above.
IT House understands that FSD Beta v10.11 introduces significant improvements that bring Tesla closer to fully autonomous driving. For example, Musk recently pointed out on Twitter that the vector lanes in v10.11 are a major architectural improvement to Tesla's artificial intelligence. The release notes for V10.11 mention the reduction of unnecessary decelerations when turning or merging, as well as significant improvements in VRU (Vulnerable Groups among Road Users) detection.
Many prominent figures have criticized Tesla for opening up its FSD test program to more drivers. However, Tesla's opening may be just right. Just last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) updated vehicle safety standards for occupant protection to include self-driving cars without human-controlled steering wheels.
