An Overview Of Tesla FSD Beta Software

Tesla FSD Beta, short for Full Self-Driving Beta software is one of the excellent features that aim to provide the driver with steering and braking/acceleration support under specific operating conditions.

Standard Tesla cars are equipped with an autopilot feature that offers support and assistance to drivers. Furthermore, owners can get access to fully self-driving cars by just paying $15,000 extra. FSD Beta is one of the major software that offers fully automated driving features.

Some of the FSD features on Tesla are car parking, navigation on autopilot, navigating a car from a highway on-ramp to an off-ramp, handling traffic lights, and many more.

Despite being loaded with automated driving features, a driver is still needed to control the car functions else it can boost the chances of fatal accidents and crashes. Furthermore, the support page of the company states that in rare cases the vehicle may violate traffic laws or customs also.

Why Tesla FSD Beta Software Is Paused

Customers are quite disappointed as Tesla has put the installations of Full Self-Driving beta software on hold in the US and Canada. The installation is paused until the safety recall is addressed. In other words, the installation of Full Self-Driving beta software is halted because of a system recall that federal safety regulators alerted could allow vehicles to be dangerous around junctions and result in accidents.

NHTSA Identified The Safety Issue

It was National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that identified the safety issue while testing and analyzing the system. As per the NHTSA, in some possibilities, the software can break traffic safety laws. At the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the company issued the system recall which stated that the advanced FSD Beta feature can increase the odds of crashes.

In a new company support page, Tesla said that they have paused the latest or pending installations of FSD beta software which is a progressive driver support feature costing around $15,000. The software will be paused until it allocates an over-the-air software update that fixes the issue.

The company support page states,” Until the software version containing the fix is available, we have paused the rollout of FSD Beta to all who have opted-in but have not yet received a software version containing FSD Beta,”

Recalling Installing New or Pending Tesla FSD Beta Software

At the start of February, Tesla stated that it was recalling installing new or pending Tesla FSD Beta software in 2016–2023 Model S and Model X vehicles; 2017–2023 Model 3 vehicles; and 2020–2023 Model Y vehicles. As per the recall posted on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the halt of FSD beta software affected around 362,758 vehicles having the software. The recall is just confined to vehicles in the USA and Canada. Depending on the making, configuration, and software history of the vehicles, it was easy to identify the affected vehicles.

Final Words

That’s all about Tesla FSD Beta software. As per sources, Tesla will release a free version of the over-the-air software update to address and fix the issue.
