The anticipation builds after a recent Twitter exchange that caught the attention of Tesla's Elon Musk. A tweet shared data about the superior safety of Tesla's FSD Beta compared to Cruise's driverless operation, and the CEO responded that FSD Beta 11.4.1 is "promising."
FSD Beta 11.4 Will Take the Weather Into Considersation
Two weeks have passed since Tesla released FSD Beta 11.4 to some employees, sparking hope that the first batch of public users could soon receive the update. In FSD Beta 11.4, Tesla prioritized refining vehicle performance rather than introducing new features. Notable improvements include enhanced pedestrian recognition and response, better responsiveness to vulnerable road users, and weather-adaptive speed control.
With Beta 11.4, your vehicle will finally take the weather into consideration when choosing a safe speed. Currently your vehicle's speed is based on nearby vehicles, the speed limit and any offsets you may have set.
Latest Public FSD Beta
The latest available FSD Beta, v11.3.6, showcased Tesla's commitment to perfecting its FSD technology. The company has been using fleet learning, user feedback, and rigorous testing to bring autonomous driving closer to reality. Updates in Beta 11.3.6 included new driving visualizations and features like "Voice Drive Notes" for hands-free feedback on Autopilot disengagement.
Merging FSD Beta and Non-FSD Beta Code
One point of speculation among Tesla fans is whether the company is closer to merging FSD Beta and non-FSD Beta branches of code. This merger could result in FSD Beta becoming a toggle rather than a separate update. Features that rely heavily on vision, such as vision-based park assist, are now in public non-FSD builds, and enhancements to automatic emergency braking are suspected to be in all builds as well. This development appears to signal that Tesla is merging much of the FSD vision code into non-FSD builds.
Other Features Coming With FSD Beta 11.4
FSD Beta 11.4 is based on Tesla update 2023.6, which means that Beta 11.4.1 is likely to be based on the same update or newer. FSD Beta 11.4 is expected to include non-FSD features such as Automatic Steering Wheel Heat , improvements to Sentry Mode lighting, as well as several undocumented features.
FSD Beta 11.4 Release Date
With Elon Musk's recent tweet hinting at the promising nature of FSD Beta 11.4.1, the excitement among Tesla owners and enthusiasts continues to grow. We should see Tesla employees receive this newest beta soon, and we'll hopefully see a small public roll out soon after that.
As Tesla moves closer to a public release of this update, users eagerly await the enhanced safety features and improved driving performance that this update will bring to their vehicles.
