Elon Musk had initially promised the fabled Full Self-Driving Beta version 9 back inAugust 2018.
And then again in2019.
Well, if youre a Tesla fan, you already know that none of these commitments were fulfilled.
Haha, FSD 9 beta is shipping soon, I swear!
Generalized self-driving is a hard problem, as it requires solving a large part of real-world AI.
Didnt expect it to be so hard, but the difficulty is obvious in retrospect.
Nothing has more degrees of freedom than reality.
Running preproduction software is both work & fun.
Beta list was in stasis, as we had many known issues to fix.
Beta 9 addresses most known issues, but there will be unknown issues, so kindly be paranoid.
Safety is always top priority at Tesla.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Do not become complacent.

Well, look at that!
There have also been too many Autopilot abuse instances to name.
So again, a necessary move.
Do ebikes get your wheels spinning?
Do self-driving cars get you all charged up?
