Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system will soon begin remembering each driver’s individual preferences. Elon Musk’s remarks come after a user complained that the software keeps leaving carpool and express lanes before getting stuck in slower traffic. Musk said the vehicle will learn from a driver’s manual interventions and adjust its behavior over time, suggesting future versions of Tesla’s self-driving software will become more personalized.

The discussion started after X (formerly Twitter) user Whole Mars Catalog (@WholeMarsBlog) shared a post describing a common frustration while using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system.“One thing that really frustrates me is when Tesla Self-Driving exits the carpool lane or express lane and then gets stuck in traffic,” the user wrote. “As I see everyone else whizzing by in the far left lane, I get extremely annoyed knowing I should be there too.”The user ended the post by asking Tesla’s software to respect driver settings, writing, “Respect the settings please….”
