Although it was a little late, version 10 of the Full Self-Driving beta rolled out to users early this morning. According to initial reports, the new software appears to be making more intelligent and more confident decisions on city streets.
Some of the beta testers are reporting that the vehicle is now smoother in turns, roundabouts and merges, which is a good sign leading to the arrival of ‘the button’ and FSD’s eventual move out of beta.
