Tesla's FSD beta 11.4.6 version released

Tesla's most recent Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta, version 11.4.6, is currently undergoing testing with Tesla employees, and it is not yet accessible to the general public. However, if the testing proves successful, there is a possibility of it being released soon. Nevertheless, there's also a chance that this beta may remain in internal testing, similar to FSD Beta 11.4.5, if significant issues are discovered.

For Tesla Model 3 owners, there's a door handle wrap kit available on Amazon, featuring custom-cut vinyl wraps in Matte Black and other colors, ensuring a perfect fit for all four door handles.

The latest FSD Beta available to consumers is beta 11.4.4, but many users have expressed disappointment with its performance, perceiving it as a step backward. Several others are currently using FSD Beta 11.3.6.

FSD Beta 11.4.6 shares similar release notes with its predecessors, 11.4.5 and 11.4.4, with the exception of one significant addition. This beta introduces "automatic emergency braking for general obstacles as detected by their occupancy network," indicating that the feature will now engage for obstacles beyond vehicles and pedestrians.

Tesla's occupancy network has the ability to identify objects, even if their nature cannot be precisely recognized. This improvement potentially increases Tesla's confidence in object detection, allowing automatic emergency braking to activate in such scenarios.

Notably, Tesla has also made considerable advancements in automatic emergency braking. It can now activate when the vehicle is moving in reverse and when other vehicles are traveling perpendicularly, such as during red-light violations. Moreover, the activation speed for automatic emergency braking has been raised to speeds over 120 mph from the previous limit of 90 mph.

In response to concerns about unnecessary slowdowns experienced by users of FSD Beta, Elon Musk disclosed on Twitter that this latest release, 11.4.6, includes improvements to "reduce unnecessary slowdowns." This addresses a common occurrence where the system slows down without apparent cause, making any enhancements in this area highly welcomed.

As Tesla employees continue testing this latest FSD Beta version, more details about potential additional improvements may surface. If the testing progresses smoothly, a public release could happen within a few days to several weeks, but the exact timing remains uncertain.
