It looks like an engine room, but how do you know it's a FSD?
There's a discussion about it on the subreddit.
Edit* I can't seem to find the discussion where it was called an FSD now, but I have Dad brain (it might have been on Facebook). I did find this from five years ago though apparently it is the "Mamba's cockpit engine".

This looks like a separate room (not in the cockpit).
It was definitely posted on Twitter if it was from back then.
There’s lots of unrealised concept art kicking about, it’s kind of the nature of a concept.
This was from 2016 apparently:
It’s not a promise of EVA any time soon…

Yes so what is the concept art in the first post? Is it the engine room (frame shift drive) or something else?
I don’t know, it’s a little before my time I’m afraid.
I still think that's what it is, the circular opening looks like it could house the component that you see in outfitting.
Official concept art, definitely.
What makes you think it's a ship interior rather than a station interior or an Odyssey interior? I don't see anything on the image itself or the original Twitter post which says it's specifically a ship interior.
15 months later, various bits of the Odyssey settlements did end up looking quite a bit like that. Something like the sample machines you can sabotage in a lab or manufacturing facility, for example ... they of course don't look identical but they're certainly taking inspiration from that sort of concept.
Or it could be an early design for Odyssey settlement power plants - aligned horizontally behind a wall rather than vertically in the centre of the room, just thinking about the light blue colours.
The evenly curved, symmetrical roof in a compact room. The smallish ship-like doors. The 2nd and 3rd images are of the Mamba so this is probably a room inside it.
The blue-ish light is probably generated by the engine. The metallic grid floor shows the blue light (energy) flowing to power the ship. On the right side is a white pressure gauge and 2 flat screens.
Buildings are more spacious with bigger doors. There's no facility in Odyssey with such a design.

That's not surprising for potentially early-stage concept art - whether it works for gameplay or not is a different matter and things may end up quite different shapes.
We both missed the really obvious one first time, though: the panel to the right of the device is very familiar and recognisable (including many of the words) when zoomed in.
For some reason, I don't find these two statements mutually exclusiveDestined to be in-game once we get ship interiors.
Good point! The readable text includes gems like "pulse laser", "fire groups" etc. Somewhat ship-like
Also, those two panels look mangled in a way that reminds me of AI-generated imagery...

Yes, I also see the words: Cargo, Options (in the top row of the screen). Below: Type, Power, .... , Health (percentage). In the left row appears to be: Shield, Cargo Hatch, Pulse Laser, . The door on the left side says "Access". Inside the blue-ish engine are some kind of turbine blades. So this is definitely a room that powers a ship (Mamba).
This artwork and other ones are drawn in an abstract / sketch style. It predates AI-imagery by several years.

The headings across the top are "Status", "Modules", "Fire Groups", "Cargo", "Options" which is the same as the ship right panel ~2020
The panel contents look like a power priorities grid from the Modules tab. Rows certainly have "Engine", "Cargo Hatch", "Pulse Laser" and maybe some other familiar entries.
I think that's just a consequence of the size of the panel in the image and it being slightly tilted. AI mangling (especially early 2020-era!) I'd expect to be a lot less readable.
It was released alongside two exterior images of the Mamba, the colour scheme matches the Mamba. It doesn't outright say it's of the Mamba (at least not on the Twitter post), but still that is most likely what it is.
It doesn't necessarily indicate ship interiors are coming, no (based on the age of it, it is very unlikely it does), but it's a bit more of a stretch to say that the interior in the image is from anything else.
