Today, Elon revealed in a response to a tweet that FSD version 9.1 will be released this Friday. While Elon did not disclose any specific details about FSD Beta V9.1, he only mentioned that it will bring “a few improvements.”
The biggest change in FSD Beta 9 is the use of a 100% pure vision system. Under the new algorithm, Tesla’s ADAS system will rely on surround cameras to perform real-time 3D modeling of the surrounding environment, making judgments based on visual cues such as road signs, signals, and markers.
However, the shift from radar-based to pure vision-based information has put significant pressure on the Tesla FSD team, leading to a direct interruption in the regular update cycle after last year’s FSD Beta launch. Currently, it appears that the Tesla FSD team has regained its rhythm, and regular FSD updates may return.
As July comes to an end, Tesla has finally updated its FSD Beta with a new version, which is the first update for V9. It seems that Tesla’s updates to its autonomous driving software have returned to normal after repeatedly “letting down” customers. This may help Tesla address some of the issues in FSD Beta tests more quickly, while also paving the way for a widespread deployment of the new vision-based autonomous driving system.
