In August, Tesla announced that the average miles driven between FSD disengagements had increased from 12.3 to 12.5 miles—a seemingly modest jump but one with enormous implications. Musk has confidently stated that Tesla can double these miles again and again, creating a trajectory toward safer, more reliable autonomous driving. This iterative enhancement milestones the transition from conventional driver assistance to full autonomy, with each step building confidence among regulators, consumers, and investors.
