Tesla Demonstrates Fully Autonomous 362-Mile, 7-Hour Drive From San Francisco to Los Angeles With Obstacle Avoidance

Tesla has released a video demonstrating its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system completing a fully autonomous 362-mile drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles without any driver intervention. The journey, which took approximately seven hours, showcased the vehicle's ability to navigate complex highway scenarios, including avoiding obstacles such as plastic bags and dodging an oncoming wrong-way vehicle. Industry observers, including a former Tesla skeptic, have noted that the FSD system has progressed significantly and now feels like a true autonomous driving experience. Tesla emphasized that long road trips are more manageable when the car handles all driving tasks, highlighting the advanced reaction times and real-world AI capabilities of its FSD technology.
