Tesla updated its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software for some of its drivers – and warned them that the system “may do the wrong thing at the worst time.” The electric car maker released the long-awaited beta version 9 (v9) of its FSD software overnight on Friday for members of its early access program, according to screenshots of the release notes.
“Full Self-Driving is in early limited access Beta and must be used with additional caution. It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and pay extra attention to the road. Do not become complacent,” the beta v9 release notes said, according to one driver’s screenshot.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk originally said that the beta v9 update would launch in 2018, before delaying its release. In an April tweet, Musk said that drivers would not have to wait past June, but pushed the timeline back again in a July 3 tweet where he admitted that he didn’t expect making self-driving cars to “be so hard.”
