Effect at its peak! Live streaming with Musk showcasing Tesla's autonomous driving, "roaming the streets" to challenge Zuckerberg one-on-one!

Elon Musk, who often acts unexpectedly, has once again made a surprising move.

On Saturday local time, the richest person on Earth started a live stream of a Tesla autopilot test drive, and later posted the video on Twitter, which has been renamed X.

During this 45-minute live stream, Musk drove a Tesla around Palo Alto, California, where Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's mansion is located.

At one point, Musk used Google Maps to search for Zuckerberg's house and jokingly said he wanted to go there and have a physical fight with him.

Maybe we'll run into Zuckerberg, and then we can challenge him...

Just a polite inquiry, if you're willing to engage in a physical fight... If it's not inconvenient, maybe you'd like to have a battle.

Two months ago, Musk initiated a challenge on Twitter, saying he wanted to have an offline "cage fight" with the 39-year-old Zuckerberg, who readily agreed. On the surface, both sides considered fighting for charity, but some media speculate that the root of this dispute seems to stem from Musk's opposition to Meta's plan to create a competitor to Threads under the name X.

However, the focus of this live stream was not on fighting, but on FSD Beta V12.

This is the test version of Tesla's new Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, FSD V12, which is yet to be released and is considered the most significant upgrade to Tesla's autopilot.

In the video, Musk continuously introduces the driving experience of FSD Beta V12.

FSD Beta V12 acted as the "chauffeur" for Musk's trip, and along the way, Musk only intervened in the vehicle once, showing quite impressive performance.

At one point, the car was originally going straight and had been waiting at a red light at an intersection for a long time. But when the signal on the opposite side changed to a left turn, it suddenly started to cross the road. Fortunately, Musk reacted quickly and took control of the vehicle in time. This means that the FSD system still requires driver supervision at all times. Nevertheless, this driving experience was still impressive.

This test version covers city road navigation and can perform most of the driving tasks of Tesla's driving assistance products.

Musk pointed out that Tesla engineers did not write specific instructions for speed bumps, parking signs, or roundabouts, and the vehicle can handle these situations on its own. Tesla trains the system through videos, and the vehicle learns to handle these situations on its own. **

The FSD beta version has not yet been made available to the public. Tesla owners first need to purchase FSD for a one-time payment of $15,000 or subscribe for a monthly fee of up to $199. Then, they can apply for the FSD beta. Owners can qualify for testing based on their driving safety score.
