A lot of comments here seem to miss how exactly Tesla FSD works.
First, it is important to understand that there is FSD and then there is FSD beta. For our purposes, these two are distinct.
- To be able to use FSD, you must purchase it for $12,000 USD.
- To be able to use FSD beta you must have FSD AND either 1) have a high enough driver score after which Tesla might invite you to join the FSD Beta or 2) receive access to the FSD beta whilst you are an employee
FSD Beta has extremely strict prerequisites. Some of these conditions include traveling 100 miles or more in a 30-day period, having a computed driver score that must be in the top percentiles of driver safety, and additionally, Tesla must actively be pursuing a fresh batch of FSD Beta invitees.
In anycase, after the entire Otto / Uber lawsuit(s) + one of the engineers supposedly uploading source code files to their iCloud account, Tesla Autopilot really hardened the NDAs around the department. I don't think they were in the wrong.
