The Future of Tesla's Full Self-Driving: The Road to Robotaxi

Saturday - April 13 2024, 20:43 UTC - 9 months ago

In 2024, Tesla and Elon Musk are on track to release FSD version 13, with internal testing currently underway. To comply with SEC regulations, more internal drivers will be assigned for FSD testing. Tesla could potentially use their 100,000 returned lease cars to expand FSD's reach, or focus on building up the robotaxi network with Tesla owners through partnerships and profit sharing.

With the release of FSD version 12.3 in March 2024, Elon Musk and Tesla realized that their full self-driving technology had reached a major milestone. It was such a significant release that they decided it should be called version 13, a nod to its advanced capabilities and potential for the future.

As the team at Tesla continued to drive and test the latest FSD versions, speculation began to rise about how the company would roll out this game-changing technology. One major factor to consider was the SEC's regulatory guidelines, which meant that Tesla and Elon needed to be extra cautious with their internal testing and development.

In order to meet these regulations, Tesla has made the decision to assign more internal drivers to test the latest FSD versions. This not only helps them comply with the SEC, but also allows for thorough testing and refinement of the technology before it is released to the public.

But how exactly will Tesla roll out FSD to the public? One possibility is the use of their 100,000 cars that were returned from multi-year leases. By outfitting these vehicles with FSD, Tesla could quickly expand the reach of their technology and get it into the hands of more customers.

Another option for Tesla is to focus on building up their robotaxi network with Tesla owners. This would involve partnering with OEM companies to share profits and perhaps even utilizing a company like Waymo to help develop the robotaxi system itself.

Ultimately, the future of FSD and Tesla's self-driving technology is exciting and full of possibilities. With each new version and update, we move closer to a world where self-driving cars are the norm, and Tesla is at the forefront of that revolution.
