"Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is able to recognize and respond to hand signals, as highlighted recently by CEO Elon Musk. In his post on X, Musk wrote, "Tesla self-driving now recognizes hand signals." Musk shared the update in a quote reply to a video posted by Tesla Europe, which showed a vehicle operating with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) navigating a tight lane in the Netherlands while responding to hand gestures from a person directing traffic."
"Musk's post comes as Tesla owners have surpassed 8 billion cumulative miles driven with FSD (Supervised) engaged. "Tesla owners have now driven >8 billion miles on FSD Supervised," the company wrote in a post on X. Annual FSD (Supervised) miles have increased sharply over the past five years. Roughly 6 million miles were logged in 2021, followed by 80 million in 2022, 670 million in 2023,"
Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) now recognizes and responds to hand signals, demonstrated by a vehicle navigating a tight lane in the Netherlands while following hand gestures. Hand-signal recognition supports interactions with pedestrians, construction workers, parking attendants, and other drivers who direct traffic or indicate right of way. Fleet FSD (Supervised) cumulative miles have surpassed eight billion, rising sharply from roughly 6 million miles in 2021 to 4.25 billion in 2025, with one billion logged in the first 50 days of 2026. North America safety data shows one major collision every 5,300,676 FSD miles versus one every 660,164 U.S. average miles.
