Tesla extends the utilization of FSD Unsupervised to Giga Berlin factory.
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Unsupervised technology is expanding globally, with a significant focus on select cities in the U.S. and Europe.
The journey began earlier this year with the deployment of FSD Unsupervised at Tesla's Fremont factory in the U.S., followed by Giga Texas. Since then, both factories have collectively logged over 50,000 driverless miles (84,600km).
The factory deployments provide a controlled yet unpredictable environment to test and perfect the software ahead of real-world use on public roads. At Fremont, production vehicles began autonomously driving a 1.2-mile route from the assembly line to the logistics area. In Giga Texas, the deployment allows the autonomous movement of vehicles, including handling traffic, pedestrians, and moving equipment.
Tesla's FSD Unsupervised system at Fremont uses a vision-based neural network trained on real-world driving data, while the system at Giga Texas is currently in operation, although specific route details have not been disclosed.
Looking forward, Tesla aims to activate FSD Unsupervised on a large scale. The rollout plans cover half the U.S. population by the end of 2025 and include the expansion of the robotaxi service.
Giga Berlin, Tesla's European factory, is also participating in autonomous driving internally for manufacturing processes. This indicates that Giga Berlin is incorporated into Tesla's broader autonomous rollout and operational plan.
The deployment at Giga Berlin suggests broader applications for the technology in the future. However, the specific deployment details and timeline have not been announced yet, as the expansion outside the U.S., including Giga Berlin’s local region, depends on regulatory approvals and infrastructure readiness.
In Austin, newly built Model Ys traverse a 1.4-mile route, while Cybertrucks take a shorter yet more complex 0.6-mile path that includes a steep 17% grade and tunnel passage.
Tesla is preparing to launch a paid robotaxi network in Austin in a few weeks. The company has not revealed details about the pricing structure or the number of vehicles that will be part of the initial rollout.
In summary, Tesla's FSD Unsupervised technology is actively scaling from U.S. factory and city deployments to a broader global rollout, including European operations at Giga Berlin, following the same pattern of phased activation tied to hardware readiness and regulatory environment. This strategic approach supports Tesla’s goal of widespread fully autonomous vehicle operations by the end of 2025.
A drone flyover of Giga Berlin by pilot Tobias Lindh clearly showed the Model Ys moving to the outbound lot and navigating to their designated shipping lane without a driver behind the wheel.

The technology used in Tesla's FSD Unsupervised system is expanding to various industries, including transportation and automotive, in addition to the finance sector, as Tesla plans to activate it on a large scale and launch a paid robotaxi network. The deployment of FSD Unsupervised is not limited to the United States, as it is also being implemented at Giga Berlin, Tesla's European factory, hinting at broader applications for the technology in the future. Furthermore, the integration of technology in manufacturing processes at Giga Berlin suggests a potentially revolutionary impact on industries like transportation and logistics.
