This is Sydney News today, powered by AI and presented by the Daily News Now. A growing number of Tesla drivers in Australia are using full self-driving mode or FSD on public roads. This feature lets newer Model 3 and Model Y cars handle steering, braking, accelerating and lane changes without the driver touching the wheel. It rode out here in September for owners who pay $149 a month or $10,100 of front. The system uses cameras for a full 360 degree view, feeding data into navigation software. Drivers must stay alert, watched by an inside camera that nags if they look away. Legally, it's a level 2 system, so the human is still in charge and ready to take over. Social media is buzzing with videos of these hands-free Teslas, surprising other drivers and walkers who do double takes or even film them. Drivers often react with a mix of all and nerves, sometimes urging hands back on the wheel. Users like a Sydney dad report smooth rides and heavy rain over the harbor bridge and family
trips up the Pacific Highway, though cameras can fog up in. Downpours of Victorian YouTuber notes it cuts fatigue on long drives and improves with use, like mastering Melbourne's tricky hook turns. A Brisbane ride-share driver relies on it for up to 10 hours daily, praising the attention alerts and safety pullover potential and emergencies. As more people try FSD, the tech keeps learning from real roads down under. This story is shared with support from our sponsor. Head in, sound on, lights out. That is the routine, S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com.
