Tesla starts rolling out of Full Self-Driving Beta in Canada

Tesla has officially started rolling out its Full Self-Driving Beta in Canada – marking the first official international expansion of the driver-assist system that Tesla taunts as an early version of a true self-driving system. Since October 2020, Tesla has been slowly rolling out what it is calling "Full Self-Driving Beta" (FSD Beta), which is an early version of its self-driving software that is currently being tested by a fleet of Tesla owners selected by the company and through its "safety test score." The software enables the vehicle to drive autonomously to a destination entered in the car's navigation system, but the driver needs to remain vigilant and ready to take control at all times. Since the responsibility lies with the driver and not Tesla's system, it is still considered a level two driver-assist system despite its name. It has been sort of a "two steps forward, one step back" type of program, as some updates have seen regressions in terms of the driving capabilities.
