tesla's brand new release of full self driving came out yesterday and here is why i was wrong about it a big thanks to athletic greens for sponsoring today's video now before we go drive the tesla and experience fsd beta for the very first time let me quickly explain what it is the tesla full self-driving beta simply refers to a single feature called auto steer on city streets that is part of the entire fsd capability suite of features that tesla currently sells for their vehicles auto steer on city streets has been listed as coming soon for years on tesla's website but it was only about a year ago when tesla started to release it to a few select owners in order to test it out now tesla has started to slowly roll it out to more owners based on their safety score and drivers who scored NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN have started to get it but unfortunately i can't seem to score higher than NUMBER_TOKEN so in response i tweeted this a couple weeks ago imagine paying eight thousand dollars for tesla full self driving in NUMBER_TOKEN then after three years you're told to wait six more months for a button that when pressed puts you in a waiting queue to maybe receive a beta version of the software but then getting told you're not a good enough driver for it now that triggered a lot of people but my point was that maybe tesla should release it to the earliest buyers of fsd who have been the most supportive customers over the years and the biggest rebuttal to this was that auto steer on city streets is still very much a work in progress and can be dangerous when put in the hands of an inattentive driver so to put it to the test i met up with a fellow tesla owner who lives in my city who has fsd beta and we took it downtown to see if it's ready for a wide release like i suggested or if it's still not ready for prime time just yet this is tyler's model NUMBER_TOKEN full self driving beta NUMBER_TOKEN just came out this morning we're going to take our first drive here in louisville i'm keeping my hands on the steering wheel but obviously fsd bait doesn't control the car right here blue steering icon if that's illuminated that means that fsd is in control of the car visualizations are i mean you see a lot more objects and pedestrians on the screen and it comes to a stop so once this turns green it'll automatically go basically on city streets the whole time so that's the biggest difference like the fsd beta is just the it's still level two it's not a level five feature but you know autopilot in city environments so we have a stop sign here and it stopped for the stop sign and it's nudging out
