Elon Musk shared the US states Tesla Unsupervised FSD will be available in next year

Tesla has been rolling out FSD quite gradually.

Mind you, that’s about to change, according to Elon Musk.

The CEO of Tesla said that, starting from next year, FSD will be completely unsupervised in two US States.

Namely, you’ll be able to use unsupervised FSD in California and Texas.

The difference between supervised and unsupervised

As the name suggests, the main difference between supervised and unsupervised FSD is that the former requires some form of supervision, while the latter doesn’t.

Translated, it means you could theoretically fall asleep when you start your journey and wake up at destination.

This is basically a quote from Elon Musk, by the way.

FSD, which stands for Full-Self Driving, is an evolution of Tesla’s Autopilot.

When it was first launched, nearly a decade ago, it was very rudimental and it required constant feedback from the driver.

For example, you could let the car drive itself on the highway, but you had to touch the steering wheel to let the car know you were there and awake every few minutes.

It evolved since then and, with the unsupervised version, drivers will be able to let the car start and end the journey with no interaction at all.

How does FSD work?

Elon Musk is convinced that robotics and autonomy, not cars, will turn Tesla in the world’s richest company.

This is why Tesla has been focusing so much on FSD.

With the upgraded version, Teslas can drive themselves as well as park themselves with Smart Summon.

FSD is also (finally) available for Cybertruck, something Tesla owners and fans have been asking for a while.

Rather than using a complex system of radars and lidars, which are basically like radars that can also detect thermal and light signals, Tesla is mostly using cameras to achieve full autonomy with FSD.

Time will tell whether cameras work better than lidars.
