Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the new "Full Self-Driving" Beta version 12.4 as a "5-10x improvement" in miles per intervention compared to the previous version, which he described with similar bombast. And yet, in a video that is largely positive about FSD, from a channel that believes in Elon's AI vision, a Tesla with the inaccurately named software drives the wrong way in traffic.
That's the state of FSD in 2024. The technology is still not legally self-driving. It is still 100% on the driver if something happens. It is still unable to make good on promises Musk made in 2016, like the claim that it would be able to drive anywhere in the country with no one inside by 2018. By the end of 2020, there were supposed to be 1 million robotaxis on the road. By 2024 there were actually zero.
