Tesla releases supervised Full Self-Driving beta to consumers
Tesla released its Full Self-Driving beta to an undisclosed group of selected consumers, extending machine-controlled driving to city streets while warning that the software could act incorrectly and still required active driver supervision.
Why it moved the index
A consumer software rollout expanded physical machine control from highways into complex city-street navigation, materially increasing deployment and autonomy exposure. Mandatory attentive supervision, a small initial cohort, and the system's non-autonomous classification constrain magnitude; Reuters, NHTSA, Tesla's support page, and release notes strongly support the facts.
