Tesla/Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

Tesla began rolling out a beta of its Full Self-Driving software to a small group of selected drivers deemed expert and careful. The software, which CEO Elon Musk described as a fundamental rewrite of Autopilot, included features like Auto Lane Change and Autopark, but required drivers to keep hands on the wheel.

• Beta limited to expert, careful drivers; Musk stated it must start with a small pool.
• Full Self-Driving is a rewrite of Autopilot enabling Auto Lane Change and Autopark.
• Despite the name, drivers remain responsible and must keep hands on the wheel.
• Tesla announced the feature during its September 2020 Battery Day event.
