Tesla FSD 12.4.1 releases today to Tesla employees. Elon Musk says if that goes well, then it will be released to a limited number of external customers this weekend.
Elon says - There are a massive number of changes to this build. It should arguably be called v13, but weβre [Tesla] sticking to 12 π
Two other versions are in earlier stages of testing: 12.5 and 12.6, which could be called v14 and v15. We are starting to get to the point where, once known bugs are fixed, it will take over a year of driving to get even one intervention.
Elon says that after the known FSD problems are fixed in these versions then the miles per intervention will increase to 15,000 to 20,000 miles. This would be one intervention for one year of driving which will match Waymo at 17000 miles per intervention.
However, Tesla FSD will operate anywhere in the world on any roads while Waymo only operates in some geofenced areas in about four cities with hyperaccurate mapping.
