Tesla's FSD (Supervised) fleet has logged 10 billion miles, hitting the training threshold Musk predicted in January for "safe unsupervised" driving.

The delay reflects unresolved liability questions: Tesla's terms classify FSD as supervised to limit owner liability, unlike competitors like Waymo that assume responsibility.
