FSD 12.5.6.1 rolls out for some Tesla AI4 models

Tesla is rolling out a Full Self Driving (FSD) version 12.5.6.1 for early adopters with Hardware 4 (AI4) models. The company has made some minor optimizations for a better user experience.

This is the first FSD rollout after the We, Robot event on October 10. The company unveiled Cybercab and autonomous driving technologies including unsupervised FSD.

Cybercab robotaxi will come with no steering wheel, or paddle to control the vehicle, instead, it will run solely on the car’s self-driving technologies. On the other hand, Robovan, a large bus-type vehicle, will also use autonomous driving.

These two have been loaded with unsupervised FSD to ride event visitors in the demo area. The company also confirmed that these new changes will be available for users with FSD version 13.

This new version was expected to rollout this month but we’ll have to wait for an actual rollout. In the meantime, FSD 12.5.6.1 comes with build version 2024.33.25 and is limited to selected Tesla owners.

Here’s the familiar changelog for this new rollout:

“FSD (Supervised) v12 upgrades the city-streets driving stack to a single end-to-end neural network trained on millions of video clips, replacing over 300k lines of explicitly C++ code”.

The new update includes vision-based attention monitoring with sunglasses. It has end-to-end on highway, natural lane change decisions, new driver profiles, and auto set speed, which has been renamed to Max Speed.

Dumb summon is also improved alongside custom/far completion sounds.

The EV maker has also announced HomeLink and myQ garage integration also coming soon.
