Overview
- Tesla said its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system passed 10 billion miles, a driver-assist feature that still requires an attentive human driver.
- The fleet is adding roughly 28.8 to 29 million miles each day, reflecting a sharp acceleration in data collection this year.
- Musk set the 10 billion-mile threshold in January yet now expects any unsupervised release for customer cars no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2026.
- Tesla reports one major crash every 5.3 million FSD miles versus one per 660,000 miles for the average U.S. driver, a comparison researchers dispute due to different crash-count methods and safer highway use.
- Tesla’s Austin robotaxi program reported 14 crashes across about 800,000 miles to U.S. regulators, highlighting the gap between supervised driving in consumer cars and true driverless service.
