That&#8217;s right, they&#8217;ve shelved the traditional coding strategies in favor of a setup that&#8217;s all AI, all the time.<\/p>\n\n<p>Before FSD Beta v12, or v12.12, <a href=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/teslas-full-self-driving-beta-ticks-up-to-version-9-0\/\" data-lasso-id=\"557005\">Tesla&#8217;s FSD software<\/a> was a combo meal of neural networks for the visuals and standard code for the driving decisions. But with v12, it&#8217;s a full-course neural network feast. <\/p>\n\n<p>To compare apples to apples, imagine swapping out a hefty 300,000 lines of C++ code for a single neural network that&#8217;s been trained on a mountain of driving footage.<\/p>\n<style>.kb-image358090_da0094-16 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image358090_da0094-16 img.kb-img, .kb-image358090_da0094-16 .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:4px;border-top-right-radius:4px;border-bottom-right-radius:4px;border-bottom-left-radius:4px;filter:drop-shadow(2px 7px 14px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2));}<\/style><div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image358090_da0094-16\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fsd-beta-v12.jpg\" alt=\"fsd beta v12 visualization \" class=\"kb-img wp-image-358094\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fsd-beta-v12.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fsd-beta-v12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fsd-beta-v12-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fsd-beta-v12-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption>Image: Not A Tesla App<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<p>The early feedback from the beta testers is promising, with reports of drives that feel like there&#8217;s a human behind the wheel. They&#8217;re spotting improvements in how the car handles complicated driving situations and adapts to new roads.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, others note the software still has &#8216;rough edges&#8217; and might not be ready for a wider release until March. <\/p>\n\n<p>Tesla began handing the keys to the new beta to an exclusive club of over 15,000 Tesla employee-owned vehicles in late December 2023. Following encouraging reviews and some testing, the software started its rollout to the public in January 2024. <\/p>\n\n<p>Despite the buzz around Tesla&#8217;s FSD Beta v12, some skepticism remains.
