On July 21, Tesla CEO Musk released important news through the social media Musk bluntly stated that with the public release of the upgraded version of Austin Robotaxi, fully autonomous driving technology will usher in "major changes in improvement."
This technology integration is not a simple function superposition, but is based on a large amount of practical experience accumulated during the closed test phase of Austin Robotaxi. The three core technology modules formed during the test process will be fully migrated to the FSD universal version: intelligent traffic logic designed for complex urban intersections, which can effectively deal with multi-directional traffic scenarios; extreme weather response strategies can ensure driving safety under special weather conditions such as heavy rain and fog; high-precision map real-time verification technology further improves positioning accuracy and path planning reliability. The integration of these technologies will significantly enhance the hardware synergy capabilities of Tesla’s autonomous driving system.
Musk particularly emphasized that the technical team will ensure through verification mechanisms that technological improvements in Austin will not have a negative impact on the performance of FSD systems in other regions.
It is worth noting that the implementation of this upgraded version of FSD technology in major markets such as Europe and China still needs to wait for approval from local regulatory authorities, and the specific launch time is to be further announced.
