2,700 miles: Tesla's first coast-to-coast autonomous drive completed

A Tesla owner, David Moss, recently completed a 2,700-mile coast-to-coast trip across the United States using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software version 14.2 without manually taking control at any point. The nearly three-day journey covered diverse driving conditions, including highways, urban streets, complex interchanges, and multiple charging stops. Moss reported zero disengagements, with the vehicle handling navigation, lane changes, traffic signals, merging, and parking autonomously. The event gained significant attention online and was briefly acknowledged by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, highlighting Tesla’s advancements in autonomous driving technology. Technically, the drive demonstrates notable progress in Tesla’s FSD capabilities, managing challenging scenarios such as city traffic and construction zones. However, despite the “Full Self-Driving” label, Tesla’s system remains classified as a supervised driver-assistance technology, requiring drivers to stay alert and ready to intervene. It is not legally recognized as fully autonomous under current U.S. regulations
