To use Tesla's FSD service, the company's autopilot function is required. The autopilot is a function that automatically executes steering, acceleration, and braking in the same lane, but in FSD it automatically performs the automatic parking function ' Summon ' and signals and stop signs that were not available in the autopilot. You will be able to take advantage of the ability to follow, as well as more advanced automation features such as fully automated driving.

Tesla has announced that it will offer such an FSD in the form of a $ 199 monthly subscription. The in-vehicle FSD computer must be updated to version 3.0 or later to enable the FSD feature. Also, for users of the already abolished 'Enhanced Autopilot', it seems that FSD will be available for 99 dollars (about 11,000 yen) per month.



For Tesla vehicles that do not have an autopilot function, you can use the FSD function by purchasing dedicated hardware for $ 1,500 (about 165,000 yen).

According to users who received the FSD feature announcement from Tesla , the notification will automatically follow 'Navigate on Autopilot , lane change, autopark, summon, traffic lights and stop signs' as features that will be available in FSD. It seems that 'function' etc. are described. However, there is also a cautionary note that 'the functions currently enabled in FSD require active monitoring by the driver and do not drive the vehicle autonomously.'



At the time of writing the article, Tesla's FSD did not realize fully autonomous driving, but it is clear that Tesla is aiming to provide level 5 fully autonomous driving function. Mr. Musk has repeatedly said that fully autonomous driving can be 'realized', and at the time of the announcement of financial results in January 2021, 'I am convinced that cars will be able to drive autonomously with reliability exceeding humans in 2021 I am doing it. '

On the other hand, Tesla has said that it will not be easy to realize Level 5 fully autonomous driving within 2021, so it is unclear when FSD will realize fully autonomous driving.
