Tesla FSD hits 8.8B miles
Tesla says its FSD (Supervised) program has surpassed 8.8 billion miles driven, underscoring how AV teams continue to rely on massive scale data collection to chase reliability and corner‑case coverage. Big mileage numbers keep emphasizing data pipelines and fleet learning as core assets for autonomy engineering. (x.com)
Tesla posted the safety update on its official X account on Feb. 18, 2026, attaching a graphic that breaks down recent FSD (Supervised) mileage and collision-rate figures. Annual FSD (Supervised) miles jumped from roughly 6 million in 2021 to about 80 million in 2022, 670 million in 2023, 2.25 billion in 2024 and 4.25 billion in 2025, with Tesla watchers reporting an additional ~1 billion miles in the first 50 days of 2026. In its North American safety snapshot, Tesla reported 830 “major” collisions with FSD (Supervised) engaged across roughly 4.4 billion miles — about one major collision per 5.3 million miles — versus ~16,131 major collisions for Teslas driven manually with Active Safety over a much larger manual-mileage base. Federal scrutiny has followed the safety release: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration upgraded its probe into FSD to an Engineering Analysis on March 19, 2026, covering about 3.2 million vehicles and citing failures to detect degraded-visibility conditions like glare and fog. Regulatory rollout activity in Europe is tied to Tesla’s recent data push: Tesla has completed vehicle testing with the Dutch regulator after running more than 13,000 FSD ride‑alongs, though formal RDW approval slipped and was rescheduled for an expected April 10, 2026 decision. Tesla and independent trackers note the recent mileage surge positions the fleet to approach roughly 10 billion supervised miles in 2026 if the early‑year pace continues, reinforcing the company’s long-stated 10‑billion‑mile training-data benchmark for large-scale autonomy development.
