Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system has now surpassed 8.4 billion cumulative miles. The figure appears on Tesla’s official safety page, which tracks performance data for FSD (Supervised) and other safety technologies. Tesla has long emphasized that large-scale real-world data is central to improving its neural network-based approach to autonomy. Each mile driven with FSD (Supervised) engaged contributes additional edge cases and scenario training for the system. The milestone also brings Tesla closer to a benchmark previously outlined by CEO Elon Musk. Musk has stated that roughly 10 billion miles of training data may be needed to achieve safe unsupervised self-driving at scale, citing the “long tail” of rare but complex driving situations that must be learned through experience. The growth curve of FSD Supervised’s cumulative miles over the past five years has been notable.  As noted in data shared by Tesla watcher Sawyer Merritt, annual FSD (Supervised)
