Elon Musk said that Tesla will use its telemetry data to make sure customers are “good” drivers before allowing them to access its Full Self-Driving Beta software.

Last week, Tesla started pushing its new Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta v10 software update to its early access fleet.

Tesla FSD Beta enables Tesla vehicles to virtually drive themselves both on highways and city streets, but it is still considered a level 2 driver assist since it requires driver supervision at all times. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle, and needs to keep their hands on the steering wheel and be ready to take control.

As we reported yesterday, the update shows some progress, but it still has some significant issues that make it less than mind-blowing.

Musk had linked the update to the wider release of its FSD Beta software, which has so far only been used by its “early access fleet,” which consists of Tesla employees and customers selected by Tesla.
