INSIGHT

Reasoning And Closed‑Loop Simulation

  • Adding 'reasoning' means vehicles will simulate actions that affect other road users.
  • Tesla sees this closed‑loop simulation as a key step toward unsupervised full autonomy.
ADVICE

Upgrade HW3 To Access Newer FSD

  • If you own a HW3 Tesla, consider upgrading to access newer FSD capabilities sooner.
  • Tesla is allowing limited transfers of pre‑bought FSD to incentivize moves to HW4 hardware.
