$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk on Friday said that its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance software will have three modes in the future, namely 'chill,' 'standard,' and 'hurry.'
What Happened: Musk divulged the three modes in response to a customer who took to social media platform X to note that FSD is currently "too aggressive" for him even in chill mode. The customer further requested a more cautious and slow mode called 'turtle mode.'
"The perception of FSD's safety will is challenged by rapid acceleration & jerky moves. everyone should start on Turtle mode," the user wrote.
"FSD will have chill, standard and hurry modes," Musk responded.

Why It Matters: Tesla's FSD is expected to enable vehicle autonomy in due time. It currently requires active driver supervision and allows for auto lane changes and traffic navigations.
Musk expects vehicle autonomy to be the next driver of value for the company amid slowing demand and intense competition in its core EV business. FSD technology is also crucial to the robotaxi product the company plans to unveil on Aug. 8.
The CEO said during the company's first-quarter earnings call in April that Tesla intends to deploy its FSD in all markets where it can get regulatory approval, including China. As per Musk, doubling down on autonomy is a "blindingly obvious move" for the company with everything else like "variations on a horse carriage."
$特斯拉 (TSLA.US)$ 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克周五表示,其完整的自动驾驶(FSD)驾驶辅助软件未来将有三种模式,即 “冷静”、“标准” 和 “快速”。
发生了什么:马斯克透露了这三种模式,以回应一位客户在社交媒体平台X上指出,即使在冷静模式下,FSD目前对他 “过于激进”。客户进一步要求使用一种名为 “海龟模式” 的更加谨慎和缓慢的模式。
该用户写道:“快速加速和急动作对FSD安全意志的看法受到挑战。每个人都应该从海龟模式开始。”
马斯克回应说:“FSD将有冷静、标准和快速模式。”

为何重要:特斯拉的FSD有望在适当的时候实现车辆自动驾驶。它目前需要积极的驾驶员监督,并允许自动变道和交通导航。
马斯克预计,在需求放缓和核心电动汽车业务竞争激烈的情况下,汽车自动驾驶将成为公司的下一个价值驱动力。FSD技术对于该公司计划于8月8日推出的robotaxi产品也至关重要。
首席执行官在4月份的公司第一季度财报电话会议上表示,特斯拉打算在包括中国在内的所有可以获得监管部门批准的市场部署其FSD。根据马斯克的说法,对于公司来说,加倍提高自主权是一个 “显而易见的举动”,其他一切都是 “马车的变体”。
