Great News. At least its a small step, we're slowly getting there. But one thing was not clear to me. With the upcoming highway approval in September, does that mean the car is only allowed to do the lane changes which it currently does without driver initiation or does that mean full FSD Capabilities (using FSD Stack instead of old Autopilot Stack) when being on a highway, including automatically taking changes to other highways and navigating until exiting the highway? I think the key point will be if they will be allowed to use the recent FSD Stack and finally get rid of the old Autopilot Stack

What’s coming in September doesn’t mean full FSD capabilities yet — like automatically navigating between highways or full use of the new FSD stack. It’s a smaller step, but still important.


According to the article from Not A Tesla App, the approval will allow System-Initiated Maneuvers (SIM) — meaning the car will be able to change lanes on the highway without the driver needing to confirm it. Here's the exact quote:

“It will allow Tesla’s FSD to make lane changes on the highway without the driver having to confirm the action first.”

So basically, the car can initiate and complete the lane change on its own, but the driver is still required to monitor and stay attentive. It’s not hands-free or fully autonomous highway driving just yet.


They also clarify:

“The approval will only cover highway use, and the driver must remain attentive.”

So this is still under driver supervision and only on highways — not city streets or full end-to-end navigation like in the U.S. FSD Beta.


In short, it’s not the full FSD stack replacing the old Autopilot on highways yet, but rather an important regulatory step that allows a bit more automation without user confirmation.
