FRANKFURT: Tesla Inc chief executive Elon Musk on Tuesday evening tweeted that the electric car maker will be rolling out a new version of its Full Self Driving software, the latest attempt by the California-based company to tout autonomous driving.

Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” software would be an important source of revenue, once it is fully deployed. Tesla owners have paid US$8,000 (RM33,148) up front in hopes of eventually receiving the upgrade. In the second quarter alone, Tesla recognised US$48mil (RM198.88mil) of FSD deferred revenue. Tesla reports third-quarter results after the New York market closes on Wednesday.
