Blog Musk Gives Details on FSD 10.2 Beta Release

Tesla will release the next version of it’s Full Self Driving Beta on October 8, Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a tweet.

The company released last week version 10.1 of the software, which included a button to request access to the beta. Tesla previously only gave access to employees and select owners.

By requesting access, owners give Tesla permission to evaluate their driving to create a Safety Score. The Safety Score is an assessment of driving behavior based on five metrics called Safety Factors. These are combined to estimate the likelihood that driving could result in a future collision.

Musk said drivers will need to have a near perfect score in the early roll out.

“First few days probably 100/100, then 99, 98, etc.,” Musk tweeted.

Tesla’s self-driving system is currently under scrutiny from federal investigators after a series of crashes when Autopilot was engaged.

LOL. We all saw this coming.

Beta test group expanded by only 1000 people.

What a joke this is.

There has to be more than 1000 people with a score of 100.

Elon says only about 1000 have a score of 100. So everyone with 100 will get FSD beta Friday night.

I hope this is true that anyone with a 100 in the app gets it and not a true 100/100. What I mean is, if I have 1 day with a 99 I technically have a 99.8 or something.

So what is a perfect 100/100 safety score? Every drive is 100% or just the overall score is 100%?

Or maybe even a 100 with absolutely no FCW, HB, AT, UF, or FAD events the entire time....that would be a perfect 100 in my book. Certainly Musk did not mean that though...or maybe he did...

 

[Smoot]

I find it hard to believe there are 1000 people out there with not one single ding in 2 weeks of driving.

I also find it hard to believe there are not more than 1000 people out there with averaged 100's.

If there are really only a few thousand out there with the FSD beta button update, the averaged 100 makes more sense.

lol can't believe people really cant see through this.
The whole FSD Beta have been a PR stunt.
Elon has even said it several times, no one is getting the hint.
That's why even after a whole year only about ~80 people in the public has it and most are Uber Tesla fanatics.

Doesn't sound like 10.2 has the one stack?

pretty sure when Musk referred to "perfect" 100 scores, he means an overall score that shows up as 100 on the app. Only we here are obsessed with significant digits and getting stuff to round up.

I would think Telsa would introduce changes one at a time. Adding 1k of new beta testers is a significant event. Makes sense not to tie that with also full stack, which would basically surprise a lot of people with new behavior on the highway. Best let the new cohort get used to testing city streets before potentially messing up highway AP intuition.

Lets take a look at this for a moment from the perspective of Tesla (i.e. lawyers) who will present this to regulators. And yes this is a different take then yours.

Tesla

1. We did a year long beta with approximately 2,000 drivers. Mostly employees but with some public beta testers. No accidents.
2. We then moved into phase 2 where required testers had to achieve a perfect safety score of 100 before being allowed into the FSD beta program.
3. We carefully monitored how well the new beta testers performed before rolling out additional testers in carefully structured waves. Drivers who did not perform properly were removed from the beta program.
4. To insure beta testers are closely monitoring FSD we have have now added monitoring of drivers using the internal camera. This improves upon our standard "nagging" feature.

Of course we know this is called "spin"!

paid for, waited for, told 'by end of year' like twice, scored 99, still gonna wait and have to keep score up otherwise wait longer...

To go from ~100 testers to 1100+ testers is bonkers. I can't believe this is happening.

Keep in mind that the initial ~100 testers got coached by phone and had to sign paperwork...
