Tesla has begun pushing the latest FSD v12 beta software update (v12.3). No release notes were provided for this update, but Tesla CEO Elon Musk called it a “major release” equivalent to a major version update.
Tesla FSD v12 introduces the “end-to-end neural network” that Elon Musk has been touting, which means that the car’s control logic is now handled by the neural network instead of code written by programmers, which is touted as “changing the game” Rules of technology”, but FSD is still a Beta version.
In fact, Tesla FSD v12.3 is currently only available to some Tesla employees and selected testers, and the relevant update is 2023.44.30.25.
