Electric vehicle and clean energy company Tesla has rolled out its suite of advanced driving assist systems (ADAS) dubbed “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) across North America to customers who request it at its stated prices of USD 15,000 (or USD 199 subscription per month).

FSD, which is an extension to its other suite of ADAS features called “Autopilot” comes standard in Tesla cars. Autopilot can perform functions such as steering, accelerating, and automatic braking while FSD adds additional capabilities including assisted steering on highways and city streets, smart vehicle summoning, automatic parking, and identifying and reacting to traffic lights and stop signs, etc.

Tesla previously extended FSD access to 160,000 customers in the US and Canada in September and today’s wider rollout furthers its goal to get FSD running in all Tesla vehicles by the end of the year.

Analyst QuickTake: The wider rollout comes in an environment where Tesla is also under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) following a series of crashes involving Tesla cars of which many were fatal. The California state government is also targeting Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD’s branding , as the terms suggest fully autonomous operations, but it requires the driver to be present and maintain full vigilance.
