Tesla a few days ago finally started the distribution of the FSD v9 Beta update to the & quot; lucky ones & quot; American customers who are part of the program that allows you to test the evolution of Full Self Driving . There are about 2,000 people, most of whom are employees of the company. American. A very important update because & eacute; brings several improvements and finally introduces Tesla Vision support . As we know, the American manufacturer has decided not to use more & ugrave; radar and rely solely on cameras. A solution that was already; has been introduced on the Autopilot of the new Model 3 and Model Y but not yet in the Full Self Driving beta.
NEW INTERFACE
In addition to the improvements of the assisted driving system, the FSD v9 Beta has introduced new features; as for graphical display , with an important step forward compared to the previous one. While the interface is not yet 'perfect', it really makes an 'impression'. see how it shows in detail everything that the Tesla Vision system & egrave; able to detect. Indeed, on the screen you can see the lighting of the rear stop light of nearby cars.
It will soon capture turn signals, hazards, ambulance/police lights & amp; even hand gestures

And in the future, it seems that more news will arrive; interesting. Elon Musk, in fact, has already done so; to know that with the next updates the system will be; capable of detecting turn signals from other cars, police and emergency vehicle lights, and even hand gestures. But it is not; over here because & eacute; the new FSD thanks to Tesla Vision will be; also able in the future to & quot; listen & quot; sirens and alarms so that cars can react appropriately when vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks and police cars approach.
Action will follow recognition soon thereafter. Also, call will listen for sirens & amp; alarms.

This is a novelty; interesting also because, at the moment, cars don't seem to have external microphones but only internal ones. The development of a sound detection system could therefore be particularly complex but we are talking about the future and therefore there will be; time to understand much more.
In the meantime, the tests on the new FSD v9 Beta continue with users who are sharing clips of their travels on social networks to demonstrate the goodness; of the new system. In particular, & egrave; interesting is the short video in which a Model 3 faces Lombard Street , a street in San Francisco known for its steep hairpin bends. Path completed successfully (at very low speed anyway) even if the system has still & quot; struggled & quot; in some of the more & ugrave; difficult.
Tried this on a super low speed in the middle of the night, but this is the first time i & rsquo ; ve seen FSD Beta 9 go down Lombard Street without intervention! @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/Y4xtHBfCqQ

In previous attempts with the old releases of the new FSD, several direct interventions by the driver were needed. So, the new v9 has brought clear improvements although it is still not perfect.
