Tesla plans next month a wider rollout of its Full Self-Driving Beta software with an “Autosteer on city streets” feature, Chief Executive Elon Musk tweeted.
The self-driving software enables Tesla vehicles for features like Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, Autopark, Summon, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control.
Yes, beta will be offered much more widely when version 9 is done, hopefully next month

Additionally, Musk also said that the next round of updates will be significant.
“FSD beta build V8.1 normally drives me around with no interventions,” Musk tweeted. “Next version is a big step change beyond that. Tesla is solving a major part of real-world AI. This is not widely known.”

Musk also said this week that Tesla will offer FSD as a subscription. The move might entice some owners to try the self-driving package before they commit the $10,000 to install FSD.
Tesla has not yet announced the price for an FSD subscription, but the rollout of a more polished version of FSD may be timed perfectly alongside the pay-as-you-go option.
