5+ min ago (502+ words) Tesla (TSLA) may be one step closer to achieving a major milestone with its full-self driving (FSD) software. Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter wrote in a note to clients that the bank believes FSD is "very close" to becoming unsupervised, meaning drivers would be able to be hands-free and eyes-free while the system is in use. Potter and the Piper Sandler team cited data from a discussion they had with FSD Community Tracker, an independent website that measures the efficacy of FSD using available data. "The tracker's core metric, referred to as "miles to critical disengagement,' exhibited a >20x improvement after FSD v14.1.x was released in October (from 441 miles in the previous version to 9,200+ miles). This was the biggest sequential improvement in 4 years of data collection," Potter said. In addition, Potter noted the following milestones from the discussion with FSD Community…...
