In the domestic market, Tesla FSD is the longest standing pigeon among car companies, and the first batch of consumers who spent 64000 yuan to choose and install this function waited for more than 5 years.
You know, even if you put this 60,000 yuan in the bank to earn interest, it would still be enough to buy a copy of the Biography of Musk and study it.
Finally, there is new news about the progress of FSD landing in China.
First, on the eve of the Beijing Auto Show, at the Baidu press conference, the V20 map was unveiled for the first time, and it is about to launch Tesla, Huawei, Jiyue and other models.
At the same time, Shang Guobin, vice president of Baidu, also said that Tesla’s models in China will be launched with the leading 3D version of Baidu Map V20, which will be pushed to new and old Tesla owners in May.
Although this flag has not been established, the V20 version of Tesla Baidu Map has not been launched yet.
Baidu Map only released the video of Tesla’s measured V20 version today, but it does not prevent many people from rubbing their expectant hands.
Especially during the Beijing auto show, Musk himself also flew to China, did not attend the lively auto show, but had a visit.
On the same day that Musk landed in China, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the National computer Network Emergency Technology processing Coordination Center issued a circular on the testing of four safety requirements for automobile data processing (the first batch).
In this circular, all models produced by Tesla Shanghai Super Factory meet the requirements of national automobile data safety, which lifted the previous restrictions on parking and driving in areas related to Tesla models.
On Tesla’s official website and APP, the purchase page of FSD service has been changed from “launch later” to “coming soon”.
Tesla’s official Weibo even posted content related to accelerating the landing of autopilot during this period.
A series of subtle changes have undoubtedly increased consumers’ curiosity about the accelerated landing of Tesla FSD in China.
In particular, friends who don’t know FSD may ask: is FSD really that strong? Even if it is strong, can it be stronger than the domestic Huawei Xiaopengwei ideal and other new power car companies? To answer this question, we first have to look at the current level of FSD: since Tesla officially released the FSD Beta version in 2021, FSD has come to V12.
On May 20 this year, Tesla officially launched the latest version of FSD, FSD V12.
4, to internal testing staff.
In North America, Tesla’s version of FSD has been iterating rapidly with monthly or even weekly shifts to update and optimize various problems.
For example, in the latest version of FSD V12.
4, Tesla mainly improved the way that the FSD must be opened based on steering wheel torque sensing to identify whether the driver is online.
Previously, because Tesla did not use the grip force sensing steering wheel, only torque sensing, so the FSD will frequently trigger a “steering wheel reminder”.
With this update, FSD will rely more on the in-car camera DMS to identify whether the driver is online and resolve the previous loophole in using sunglasses to evade detection.
In addition, FSD V12.
4 optimizes experiences such as brake comfort and automatic parking.
Since the large version of FSD V12, Tesla has entered a new stage in autopilot.
The model architecture has evolved from code rule-driven to data-driven “end-to-end autopilot”.
End-to-end sounds mysterious, but to put it simply: road scene data on one side and vehicle control on the other, eliminating the lengthy steps of perception, fusion, decision-making, execution and so on.
The self-driving decision is directly handed over to the neural network, which is generated by massive video training.
The neural network, which is self-learning through massive data, can make driving decisions like human beings, enabling it to make complex decisions in real-world scenarios.
Musk has said that Tesla FSD V12 requires human intervention at only 1% of the frequency of FSD V11.
At present, in North America, through some test videos, we can see that the actual performance of Tesla FSD V12 version is indeed very strong, and the ability to judge and plan real-time road conditions is closer to the decision-making of human drivers.
But at present, it is a pity that many experiences can only be felt in overseas markets.
Due to policies such as data security, Tesla FSD has not yet landed in China.
In February this year, Tesla FSD V12.3.1 version was free to Tesla owners in North America for one month, but the subscription rate at the end of the trial period was not ideal.
In April, Tesla FSD started a big sale in North America.
The subscription price dropped to $99 a month, and the package price dropped to $8000, compared with $199,199 and $12000, respectively.
The price reduction was clearly designed to encourage more drivers to experience FSD, thereby increasing user engagement and increasing the amount of data that can be collected by improving the FSD system.
In the domestic market, due to the fact that the function has not yet been activated and the price, the selection rate of Tesla FSD is actually not high, because at present, domestic car companies basically provide a free use period of one to two years for high-end intelligent driving packages.
I do not know what the subscription price will be when Tesla FSD is really landed in China in the future.
The latest news about the domestic progress of FSD is a photo of “employee FSD Beta Plan: registration” posted on Twitter at the end of May, which is from Tesla’s Chinese model.
In addition to the “employee FSD Beta version plan”, the words “employee Wave 1 plan: registered” also appear in the photo, which means that the software is the final test before it is released to the public, while in most cases, the official version of the software will be publicly launched within a few weeks, as if the arrival of Tesla FSD is on the horizon.
In today’s domestic new energy market, at a time when a large number of car companies are fiercely inward-rolling, Tesla’s two main-selling models are gradually losing their attractiveness.
In April this year, Tesla’s retail sales in China were 31421, down 21.
4% from the same period last year.
Cumulative sales in the first four months were 163841, down 7.
6 per cent from the same period last year.
The timely launch of Tesla FSD may not only further intensify the fierce competition in the domestic autopilot track, but also help Tesla’s domestic sales growth.
It’s just that what will be the actual experience when FSD is really settled in China in the future? We’ll have to wait a little longer.
