Last week, Tesla released the latest version of its autonomous Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, v13.2, to a limited number of external customers. Building on v12’s transition to end-to-end AI earlier this year, v13.2 introduced several enhancements, including FSD parking at the start and the end of journeys and driving in reverse. Its Cortex cluster in Austin has increased Tesla’s training compute power by 5x, optimizing the performance of FSD v13.2 in vehicles with Tesla’s AI4 computer chip and higher-resolution video inputs.
