Tesla FSD 12.5 (full self driving – complete driver assistance) has begun to rollout to Tesla employees. The previous FSD 12.2.X and 12.3.X typically end up fully rolled out after about 2 weeks. However, 12.4.X versions never reached more than 5% of the North American fleet.
The Tesla FSD 12.5 does not appear to have summon or banish. Those are the parking without the human driver or coming to the human driver from the parking location.

Nextbigfuture has been predicting that Tesla FSD 12.5.X will be a very important version. If it has over 2000 miles per intervention then it will be well over 20 times better than competing supervised automated driving system in the world. The supervised driving systems in China are reported to be about the level of last years Tesla FSD version 11.X before the AI breakthroughs that have taken it to the next level.
All other automated driving systems either have human safety drivers or they have remote humans supervising.
I had analysis of the financial impact that I expect for Tesla from Tesla FSD 12.5.
