BREAKING: Tesla’s highly awaited Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software is now rolling out in Australia and New Zealand as of today, September 18, 2023. This cutting-edge update is available for all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles equipped with the HW4 hardware. Customers can access this transformative technology through an over-the-air update or by purchasing a subscription for just A$149 per month.
Tesla has confirmed that after nearly five years of anticipation, Australian drivers can now experience a revolutionary driving aid that significantly reduces cognitive load while driving. FSD (Supervised) enhances vehicle capabilities, allowing for automatic indication before corners, navigation through multi-lane roundabouts, and operation on unmarked roads—all under the driver’s active supervision.
Recent field tests reveal that the FSD (Supervised) system has been trained on billions of kilometers of data, making it one of the most advanced driver assistance systems available. Tesla’s advanced camera suite and neural net processing work harmoniously to deliver an experience unlike anything seen in Australian vehicles.
The rollout is designed for immediate access, with drivers able to update their vehicles from anywhere with WiFi. Customers who have already taken delivery of eligible vehicles without the Full Self-Driving Capability can now upgrade by purchasing the package. Tesla will also soon offer this technology as a subscription service, appealing especially to those who prefer not to pay the upfront cost of A$10,100 for outright purchase.
Authorities emphasize that while FSD (Supervised) is a groundbreaking advancement, it does not make Tesla vehicles autonomous. Drivers must maintain full attention and control at all times, as failure to do so could result in suspension of the feature after multiple warnings for inattentiveness.
The excitement around this launch is palpable, as thousands of Australian Tesla owners finally get to experience the benefits of FSD after a lengthy wait. This update positions Australia as the first right-hand drive market globally to offer Full Self-Driving (Supervised) publicly.
As Tesla continues to innovate, the company is expected to provide additional updates and features in the coming months. For ongoing coverage and updates about Tesla’s developments, stay tuned.
This momentous launch is not just about new technology; it represents a significant leap in road safety and driver convenience, making the roads safer for all. Be sure to share this news as it unfolds and keep an eye on your Tesla for the latest updates!
