Is FSD Beta under employee test in Australia

He noticed an interesting street scene in the recent AI presentation by Ashok Elluswamy at CVPR 2022 which was uploaded to YT in the past few days (from about 9.40 in the video)

Left side driving, Clark Rubber, Stobie poles and the buses quickly identified this as Adelaide.

And the exact spot IDd soon after Google Maps

Well spotted

When I saw that I did wonder if Clarke Rubber existed in the USA. Didn't even think to look at it more closely.

If you have data sharing enabled in the settings, anonymised camera data can be shared back to Tesla for "fleet learning". So it doesn't necessarily imply that FSD beta is running on any Australian vehicles. Maybe in shadow mode, but that's pure speculation.

 

[Hairyman]

Good point. I’m sharing data to try and help hasten and refine the whole process.

Well spotted with the stobie poles. As far as I know exclusive to SA and the item a significant number of motorists die smashing into

NT as well. There's even a few random ones in the ACT if you know where to look.

Australia could be an ideal test ground for the roll out for RHD FSD given it's one of the few English speaking countries with MUTCD based road signage outside of North America. I also read somewhere that they were advertising beta to employees, and there are FSD engineer/s in Australia over from the US.

Time to start making sure my driving is extra specially good

I mean, yes you should probably do that in general But it doesn't officially count until they enable the safety score feature to start measuring your driving.

But it's for Japan... makes sense to do a bigger market first unfortunately for us

Assuming it's even for FSD Beta and Tesla hasn't noticed they've moved to NZ, it's a good sign that progress is happening towards bringing it into RHD markets. I think NZ & Aus would be easier for FSD beta to cope with, but maybe they're not looking for easy.

Definitely good they're looking outside USA and to RHD markets.
Not sure if they're looking for easy or hard, more likely looking for where they'll sell more FSD
