Tesla is making its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) system a lot more forgiving. Repeat offenders who receive five "strikes" and are booted off the AI driving system for seven days will now only spend 3.5 days in "FSD jail." This change occurs five weeks before the release of Version 14 software, which Elon Musk has described as "the second biggest update ever," following Version 12.

Tech blog Not A Tesla App reports:

Why does this matter for Tesla drivers? Well, the days of constant nagging by the vehicle to pay attention are about to ease with the next major over-the-air update that will be pushed out by Tesla sometime this fall. This suggests higher confidence in FSD. 

"Once we confirm real-world safety of FSD 14, which we think will be amazing, the car will nag you much less," Musk recently wrote on X. 

On a recent All-In podcast, Musk stated, "Your car is going to feel like it is sentient by the end of the year." 

"I just want to be able to drink my coffee in the morning without FSD nagging me because my hat blocks its view while I take a slow sip of hot coffee," one X user emphasized.
