Tesla FSD beta version 10.11 has been pushed to the company’s employees, and the update instructions have also been shared online, providing some key improvements to the driver assistance system.
Moreover, Tesla CEO Elon Musk pointed out on Twitter that if v10.11 performs well, Tesla will consider reducing the safety score requirement to participate in the program to 95 points, which is not currently eligible for the FSD test program. Good news for car owners.

Lowering the safety score to 95 will pave the way for more Tesla owners to join the FSD testing program. Numerous Tesla owners have expressed their willingness to help test the FSD beta, but the safety scoring system the company has implemented has made many ineligible. Currently, to participate in the FSD testing program, owners must have a safety score of 98 or higher.
Furthermore, FSD Beta v10.11 introduces major improvements that bring Tesla closer to fully autonomous driving. For example, Musk recently pointed out on Twitter that the vector lanes in v10.11 are a major architectural improvement to Tesla’s AI. The release notes for V10.11 mention reductions in unnecessary slowdowns when turning or merging, as well as major improvements in VRU (vulnerable among road users) detection.
Many prominent figures have criticized Tesla for opening up its FSD testing program to more drivers. However, the timing of Tesla’s opening may be just right. Just last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) updated vehicle safety standards for occupant protection to include autonomous vehicles without human-controlled steering wheels.
