Tesla Unveils Supervised FSD for Canadian Cybertruck Owners
Expanding Autonomy Across Borders
Tesla’s highly-anticipated Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) software is finally available for Cybertruck owners in Canada. Following a successful rollout in the United States earlier this year, Tesla is now pushing the FSD v12.5.5.3 update to Canadian Cybertruck drivers, marking a significant step forward in autonomous vehicle technology for the brand.
Cybertruck’s Canadian Arrival with FSD
The rollout in Canada was first discovered over the weekend by multiple Tesla enthusiasts. It has been confirmed through images and video content shared on social media, such as those from X user Dare W. The footage features the Cybertruck’s newly integrated FSD capabilities in action, demonstrating the software’s functionalities during initial drives on Canadian roads.
A Timeline of Development
Tesla’s Cybertruck initially launched in Canada last month, with the very first deliveries occurring earlier in November. Interestingly, the tech-like Cybertruck did not come bundled with the Supervised FSD software originally. Instead, the electric vehicle manufacturer took a few months to ensure the software was operationally sound before rolling it out to the new vehicle model.
A Country-Specific Compliance Achievement
In an important regulatory development, Tesla received an exemption for its steer-by-wire system this past July, which facilitated the integration of this unique steering setup within Canadian regulations. This regulatory milestone underscored Tesla’s commitment to tailoring its innovative vehicle features to meet distinct legal requirements across different markets.
Autonomous Innovation Moves North
With Tesla’s Supervised Full Self-Driving feature now active on Canadian Cybertrucks, anticipation builds around what these advancements mean for the evolution of autonomous vehicles. The company’s strategic FSD rollout not only reflects its advances in vehicle autonomy but also Tesla’s dedication to expanding its technological footprint globally.
Conclusion
Tesla’s FSD expansion into Canada signifies a major enhancement in the features available to Cybertruck owners and sets the stage for further technological advancements in the automotive industry. As Tesla continues to push the barriers of autonomous vehicle capabilities, it remains to be seen how this will impact global markets and the future of transportation.
