What is Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD)?

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) designed to handle a wide range of driving tasks under human supervision. Corresponding to SAE Level 2 automation, FSD enables features like autosteer, lane changes, navigation through intersections, and parking, all while requiring the driver to remain vigilant and ready to intervene. It uses a network of cameras, radar, and neural networks trained on billions of miles of driving data to navigate complex road scenarios, from city streets to highways. In Northern Kentucky, FSD adapts to diverse road conditions, offering a seamless driving experience across urban and rural landscapes. Learn more about FSD.

A Day Cruising Northern Kentucky with Tesla FSD

Imagine a gas-free day exploring Northern Kentucky's Ohio River Valley in a Tesla Model ‹Y/3/S/X› with FSD engaged. Starting in Covington, you input your destination into the Tesla's touchscreen, and FSD takes over, smoothly navigating the city's bustling streets. The system effortlessly handles traffic lights and stop signs, keeping you relaxed as you head toward the open roads of the Ohio River Valley.

As you cruise along KY-8, the scenic Ohio River on one side and rolling hills on the other, FSD maintains precise lane discipline and adjusts speed for curves, ensuring a stress-free ride. You pass through quaint towns like Augusta, where the system slows for pedestrians and navigates roundabouts with ease. The absence of gas stops means more time enjoying the journey, with Tesla's Supercharger network—like the one in Florence, KY—providing quick charging when needed. By evening, you're back in Covington, having covered ‹100+ miles› without burning a drop of fuel, feeling refreshed thanks to FSD's assistance.
