Tesla is introducing streak tracking and usage statistics to its Full Self-Driving software, encouraging drivers to engage with the feature more frequently. The company has simultaneously simplified subscription access to the advanced driver assistance system.

Tesla's latest update brings game-like mechanics to Full Self-Driving (FSD), allowing drivers to monitor their usage patterns through streaks and performance metrics. The feature tracks how consistently users activate the system, creating a visual record of engagement. The move coincides with Tesla making FSD subscriptions more accessible. By lowering friction in the subscription process, Tesla aims to boost adoption of its premium driver assistance technology. These changes reflect Tesla's strategy to increase FSD usage and gather more real-world driving data. Regular use by a larger user base helps train and refine the underlying AI models that power autonomous driving capabilities. The additions are now rolling out to Tesla owners. FSD remains one of Tesla's most contentious products, with regulators scrutinizing its capabilities and naming practices.
