The Department of Infrastructure released internal briefing notes and email correspondence with Tesla regarding the regulation and introduction of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology in Australia. Documents discuss vehicle software upgrade safety protocols, noting that current software updates still require human driver control and are classified as Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems rather than automated driving systems. Tesla correspondence from June 2025 indicates ongoing development of FSD-Supervised in Australia, including release of a Melbourne progress video, with Tesla emphasizing the system maintains active driver attention monitoring requirements. The briefing notes address regulatory considerations for ensuring vehicle manufacturers take ongoing responsibility for software updates post-sale.
