Tesla, the electric car maker, has announced that its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta version 12.12 is now available for customers who have purchased a Tesla vehicle with the FSD package. The update, which was previously only rolled out to a limited number of employees, brings some new features and improvements to the FSD system.
FSD Beta is a software update that enables Tesla vehicles to perform advanced driving tasks without human intervention. The update uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze video data from millions of real-world scenarios and learn how to drive safely and efficiently. FSD Beta also includes a set of hardware components, such as cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors, and neural networks, that help the vehicle perceive its surroundings and make decisions.

Tesla claims that FSD Beta can handle complex situations such as traffic jams, intersections, roundabouts, parking lots, and even autonomous driving on highways. However, the update is still in development and requires constant supervision from the driver. Tesla warns that FSD Beta is not a fully autonomous system and does not guarantee safety or performance in all conditions.
