Coaching Tesla's FSD Beta

Knowing how to drive with Tesla’s FSD Beta software is essential to keeping roads safe and technology progressing. I take you through a typical drive in real time, showing how I coach the software through frequent & proactive disengagements ensuring myself and other road users are safe while enjoying the capabilities of the system as it stands. Understanding your role as the driver interacting with the system will help you remain attentive and relaxed if you choose to enable FSD in your car.

Always be sure to read and understand the documentation & disclaimers that accompany any driver assistance software in any vehicle before engaging it and update materials that may follow. It’s an important step that’s well worth the time even if you’re excited to try the latest & greatest thing.
