Recently, an automotive blogger claimed that Tesla's Full Self-Driving Driver (FSD) assisted driving system will soon feature even more realistic scene reproduction, with a large number of new rendering models discovered in the new software package. These include: ambulances, fire trucks, garbage trucks, school buses, semi-trailer trucks, golf carts, pedestrians on electric scooters, pedestrians in wheelchairs, pedestrians on skateboards, pedestrians pushing strollers, road sweepers, tricycles, trailers, trains, and trams.
According to CNMO, Japan has recently paved the way for the implementation of Tesla's FSD assisted driving system. According to media reports, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has approved Tesla's autonomous driving software upgrade via over-the-air (OTA) for existing vehicles. The newly added FSD rendering model system may provide comprehensive coverage of Japanese road elements. This updated model library is perfectly adapted to Japan's complex urban traffic environment: the high density of emergency vehicles, the movement of special operation vehicles on narrow roads, and the diverse travel patterns of pedestrians. These are all "pre-recognized" by the system through pre-built scenario models, lowering the threshold for scenario adaptation for the technology's implementation.
Hiro Mizuno, a former Tesla director, noted on social media that Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's policy breakthrough of allowing vehicles to upgrade their autonomous driving capabilities via software updates is significant. He believes that allowing such software updates will not only accelerate the rollout of Tesla's FSD in Japan but also facilitate the introduction of autonomous driving technology by other automakers.
