The Tesla AI team recently released the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) update for the Cybertruck, with early access testers and company employees being the first to try it out. Initial feedback from Cybertruck owners suggests that the FSD (Supervised) system is working well on the all-electric pickup truck. The Cybertruck is the first Tesla vehicle to feature end-to-end highway driving, as noted by Tesla Director of Autopilot Software Ashok Elluswamy. Release notes also indicate that the FSD system on the Cybertruck includes vision-based attention monitoring with sunglasses.
Longtime Full Self-Driving testers Whole Mars Catalog and Dirty Tesla were among the first to receive the FSD (Supervised) update for their Cybertrucks. Both testers have been evaluating the advanced driver-assist system for several years and have noted some interesting characteristics of the Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system. A drive from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica revealed that the FSD system behaved similarly to Tesla’s other vehicles, but adjustments are needed for the larger size of the Cybertruck. Tight lane changes were handled well, but the system does not yet work in trailer mode.
During the Beverly Hills to Santa Monica drive, Whole Mars Catalog observed that the Cybertruck’s FSD system exhibited smooth turning and braking behaviors. @BLKMDL3, another Tesla owner in the vehicle, noted the extremely smooth visuals on the infotainment display and some quirks that still needed to be addressed. Dirty Tesla tested the Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system in Michigan and found the corrections using the steer-by-wire system to be natural and smooth. The vehicle was able to stay in lane, perform lane changes, and exit the highway fairly well but required a few interventions during the drive.
In general, feedback from early access testers suggests that the Tesla Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system is a solid update to the pickup truck. While it is still only available to a limited group of testers, the initial performance of the FSD (Supervised) version on the Cybertruck is promising. As the system continues to be refined and improved, it will be exciting to see how much better the vehicle’s advanced driver-assist system can become in the coming months. Fans of Tesla and the Cybertruck can watch Dirty Tesla’s test of the Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system in a video showcasing the system’s capabilities.
