Tesla says unsupervised FSD in customer cars will arrive Q2 2027
Electrek reports Tesla's Q2 2027 target for unsupervised FSD in customer cars is limited to its Robotaxi fleet.
The short version
- Tesla now says unsupervised FSD in customer-owned cars will arrive in Q2 2027.[Electrek]
- Tesla's AI chief said owners would add their cars to the managed Robotaxi fleet rather than gain cars that drive them anywhere.[Electrek]
- Robotaxi covers small areas of six US metros, and California still requires safety drivers, which Electrek ties to Tesla withholding DMV data.[Electrek]
Key facts
- Tesla says unsupervised FSD in customer-owned cars will arrive in Q2 2027.[Electrek]
