Last week, Tesla pushed the 2023.44.30.25 update containing FSD v12.3 to some Tesla employees and selected testers. Elon Musk called it an update equivalent to “FSD 13.”
Today, Tesla has begun to push the 2023.44.30.25 update in full to more HW4 owners, and there are endless test videos from major bloggers. Combined with previous news from Teslascope, this push seems to cover all vehicles in the United States that are eligible for FSD Beta testing.
There is only one sentence in the change log: FSD Beta v12 upgrades the city street driving function to a single end-to-end neural network trained on millions of video clips, replacing more than 300,000 lines of C++ code.

▼ Use FSD V12.3 to run online car-hailing.
Tesla has also introduced what Musk has been touting as “end-to-end neural networks” since FSD v12, which means that the car’s control logic is now handled by neural networks rather than code written by programmers, which is touted as “Game-changing technology”, but FSD is still a Beta version.
@Teslascope previously broke the news that the Tesla FSD Beta version may be tested in parts of the EU starting in October this year. In addition, the Tesla FSD Beta Chinese version is also progressing rapidly, and the current tentative release target is this summer.
The name of Tesla FSD on its official website means “full self-driving capability.” Musk said that FSD Beta is developing very rapidly, and in the future its safety will far exceed that of human drivers, reaching 10 times the safety level.
Tesla’s autonomous driving products can be divided into 3 categories, including AP, EAP and FSD. Among them, AP is the most basic version, and EAP adds functions such as smartphone summoning, automatic parking, and NOA to enhance assisted driving.
Currently, these two categories of products can be used in China. The former is free and the latter is priced at 32,000. Yuan. The highest level is FSD, whose main functions include navigation-assisted driving (NOA), automatic lane changing, automatic parking, smart summon, traffic signal recognition, automatic steering on urban roads (based on navigation routes), etc.
Currently, Beta is only available in North America. Edition, the US price is US$15,000, or US$199 per month.
