Tesla Fremont Factory

Tesla has officially confirmed that its US factory is now operating self-driving cars, moving themselves from the manufacturing to the loading parking area.

The EV maker has published two videos on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). The clip shows vehicles coming out of the charging stalls and self-driving through the factory lanes to reach their destination where they’ll be loaded on Tesla Semi.

“Teslas now drive themselves from their birthplace at the factory to their designated loading dock lanes without human interventions,” wrote Tesla.

The second clip is a 1.2-mile self-driving ride at the Fremont factory, where the company produces Model 3, Y, S, and X. This factory is one of the largest manufacturing sites in California.

The video shows a new Telsa responding to stop signs, stopping for incoming vehicles, taking safe turns, increasing speeds, waiting for upcoming traffic to pass, responding to traffic signals, maintaining speed, and self-parking.

Unsupervised FSD

Full Self Driving (FSD) is an autonomous driving technology, that uses the car’s on-board cameras for real-time vision data and backend computing to self-drive. It can navigate on the road, detect upfront objects, traffic signals, stop signs, pedestrians, change lanes, and more.

The current consumer FSD version is supervised, which requires a human driver to monitor all of the car’s maneuvers and take control if anything goes wrong.

However, the company is said to be developing an unsupervised FSD, which will supersede the driver’s supervision and won’t require human intervention. Tesla demonstrated this technology with Cybercab, its ambitious self-driving robotaxi slated to release in 2026-27.

Tesla also has plans to rollout self-driving robotaxi with existing EVs in a few states including Texas by this year.
