Tesla’s Model Y continues to make headlines as one of the safest electric SUVs available, featuring advanced safety measures and the latest in Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology.

The Model Y has consistently received high safety ratings, thanks in part to its robust construction and suite of active safety features. The latest update to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Beta, version 12, has recently been rolled out to a broader group of users.

This update incorporates “end-to-end neural nets,” which represent a significant shift from the previously used programmed algorithms to a more AI-driven approach. This change aims to improve the system’s performance in real-world driving conditions, including better handling of maneuvers such as lane changes, navigating intersections, and reacting to other road users​ (Tesla)​​ (Electrek)​.

 

Despite the name, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Beta is still considered a Level 2 autonomous system, requiring drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and remain attentive at all times. The system includes features such as automatic lane changes, turns, and stopping at traffic signals, but it still necessitates driver supervision to ensure safety and correct any potential errors​ (Tesla)​​ (Electrek)​. Overall, the Tesla Model Y continues to be a top contender in the electric SUV market, combining advanced safety features with the latest developments in autonomous driving technology.
