Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities have garnered a lot of attention and curiosity from car enthusiasts and tech-savvy individuals alike. The thought of a car being able to drive itself is something straight out of science fiction, and yet, Tesla has made significant strides towards making it a reality.
Here are a few cool videos to show what Tesla Full Self Driving is capable of, including saving Bambi…
@Tesla FSD Beta slows for a deer before I saw it. I did disengage, slam brakes and steer to the right once I noticed it, but I believe without the initial slowdown I may have hit the deer. Bravo to the deer for the excellent dive to safety at the last second unharmed! pic.twitter.com/FeimORnub2

So, how does FSD work? At its core, FSD relies on a combination of cameras, sensors, and software to help the vehicle navigate the road without the need for human intervention. The cameras and sensors enable the vehicle to detect and interpret its environment, while the software allows the car to interpret this data and make decisions on how to move forward. Combined, these technologies allow a Tesla vehicle to operate autonomously for periods of time, including making turns, navigating traffic, and even driving on highways.
Despite its potential, it’s important to remember that FSD isn’t yet perfect and requires a human driver to remain vigilant and be ready to take control at any moment. In addition to this, FSD’s capabilities are still subject to road and weather conditions, as well as any potential obstacles or hazards that may arise. As such, it’s crucial that drivers still maintain their attention to the road even when FSD is activated.
Looking towards the future, there’s no doubt that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving capabilities will continue to evolve and improve. This will come in the form of regular software updates designed to fine-tune and improve FSD’s functionality, as well as hardware updates that further improve cameras, sensors, and other components. While it’s too soon to say when precisely a Tesla vehicle will be capable of operating entirely without a human driver, Tesla’s estimated timeline for this is within the next few years.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving capabilities are a glimpse into what the future of automobiles holds, and it’s exciting to see how far we’ve come in just a few short years. While FSD isn’t perfect and is subject to limitations, there’s no doubt that Tesla will continue to develop and improve its autonomous driving functionality, and it’ll be interesting to see how it continues to evolve over time. All in all, we’re living in an exciting era where the impossible is becoming possible, and Tesla’s Full Self-Driving capabilities are a shining example of this.
