Key Questions
What are the key features of Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.3?
Tesla FSD v14.3 includes fleet learning, 20% faster reactions via MLIR rewrite, and rollout to HW4 vehicles in the Early Access Program. It excels in real-world demos like LA, Amsterdam, and Eindhoven with supervised driving, though over-cautious on bikes and parking. An 850-mile zero-intervention trip was completed, including parking and charging.
What recent achievements has FSD Supervised demonstrated?
FSD Supervised v14.2.2.5 completed an 850-mile trip with zero human interventions, including parking and charging. v14.3 is live in employee beta with public rollout, showing triumphs in user data from Austin and HW4 vehicles. Musk touted 90% crash avoidance and upcoming attention reductions.
What regulatory developments are affecting Tesla FSD?
NL RDW granted supervised approval on April 10 for Europe, with tests in Amsterdam and Eindhoven. NHTSA probes deepen on low-vis issues but closed Smart Summon and remote probes after OTA fixes; NV/TX unsupervised pilots and geofence expansions are planned. CA DMV lawsuit, Euro NCAP, and SK warnings persist alongside NV regs.
