On October 25, 2026, Tesla announced that it is developing an in-house AI-based map navigation system. According to a report by Phoenix Technology that day, Tesla Vice President Ashok Elluswamy confirmed the news on the earnings call and said the system will launch with FSD v15. He explained that the new system uses an entirely new architecture rather than being another version of a map, integrating data collected by the fleet with personalized route planning and supporting FSD voice control; the fleet will automatically collect street information and annotate data such as travel speeds, stop signs, traffic lights, and parking lots, to address issues with speed-limit recognition, parking, and route planning. Under the plan, the new map will first be used during the departure and arrival phases of trips in FSD v15, and over the following months will gradually cover the remaining navigation capabilities, including parking and voice control. No further progress has been disclosed at this time.

Tesla Vice President Ashok Elluswamy confirmed on the earnings call that Tesla is developing its own AI-based map navigation system, which will launch with FSD v15, integrating data collected by the fleet, personalized route planning, and support for FSD voice control. He called it an entirely new architecture rather than another version of maps; the fleet will automatically collect street information and annotate data such as travel speeds, stop signs, traffic lights, and parking lots, to solve issues with speed limit recognition, parking, and route planning. The new maps are expected to be used first during the trip departure and arrival stages of FSD v15, and then gradually cover the remaining navigation capabilities such as parking and voice control over the following months.
