Summary: Tesla has begun rolling out a new hands-free driving feature for its Cybertruck, allowing select owners to drive on U.S. highways without using their hands. This update marks the first time Cybertrucks receive the "end-to-end on highway" driving capability.

The feature, known as "FSD (Supervised)," requires drivers to remain attentive and will deactivate if they look away. Some early Cybertruck buyers paid $7,000 for this feature, while others can subscribe for $99 per month.

The introduction of this feature comes after a challenging launch for the Cybertruck, which faced delays and safety recalls. Tesla aims to enhance its competitive edge in the electric vehicle market with advancements in autonomous driving technology.
