Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system has accumulated over 8.4 billion cumulative miles driven worldwide as of March 2, 2026, per the company's safety page—nearing CEO Elon Musk's 10 billion mile target for safe unsupervised self-driving. In parallel, Tesla has begun supervised FSD testing in Abu Dhabi under local oversight.

Tesla has released software update 2026.2.9, renaming several driver-assistance features to distance itself from the 'Autopilot' name amid regulatory scrutiny. The changes include 'Navigate on Autopilot' becoming 'Navigate on Autosteer' and the 'FSD Computer' being updated to 'AI Computer'. The update affects only text and names, with no changes to functionality.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that Full Self-Driving (FSD) will soon gain voice prompt support, enabling natural commands like specifying parking preferences. This builds on recent reasoning improvements for better navigation and parking decisions.
