Thoughts from the Driver’s Seat with Mike Nelson

Navigating the Steep Learning Curve of AV Technology

It seems that Tesla is always making some “big announcement,” but the recent announcement that FSD Beta would be made available to additional drivers really hit close to home.  Over the weekend, Partner Mike Nelson’s Model Y alerted him that he was one of the chosen tens-of-thousands who had been granted access to the system.  He promptly downloaded the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 software update and has been digesting the release notes that came with it—technical jargon and all. 

Today, Mike is back in the driver’s seat of the Model Y, sharing some thoughts on the release notes and how the highly technical language may impact overall driver understanding and safety. If Mike (who is well-versed in industry terminology) is confused by the release notes, where does that leave the average driver, or everyone else sharing the road? Check out the video to hear what Mike has to say.
