Tesla has started releasing FSD v14.2 software update for AI4 vehicle owners, bringing new features, improvements, and optimizations to the self-driving experience.

The update improves emergency vehicle handling, on-road obstacles, and better understands human gestures towards the vehicle when the FSD is engaged. Much of the changelog is quite similar to FSD v14.1, but we’ll have to wait for reviews to explore the real changes.

Prior to the rollout, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, mentioned that the FSD v14.2 will be the first “truly wide release of the V14 software update beyond architectural constraints. He also mentioned that the driving experience will become more natural with an increased parameter count. It will be less nagging and have refinements over v14.1.x series.

Here’s the FSD v14.2 changelog:

  • Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, leveraging higher resolution features to further improve scenarios like handling emergency vehicles, obstacles on the road, and human gestures.
  • Added Arrival Options for you to select where FSD should park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, in a Driveway, in a Parking Garage, or at the Curbside.
  • Added handling to pull over or yield for emergency vehicles (e.g., police cars, fire trucks, ambulances).
  • Added navigation and routing into the vision-based neural network for real-time handling of blocked roads and detours.
  • Added an additional Speed Profile to further customize driving style preference. Improved handling for static and dynamic gates.
  • Improved offsetting for road debris (e.g., tires, tree branches, boxes).
  • Improve handling of several scenarios, including unprotected turns, lane changes, vehicle cut-ins, and school buses.
  • Improved FSD’s ability to manage system faults and recover smoothly from degraded operation for enhanced reliability.
  • Added automatic narrow field washing to provide rapid and efficient front camera self-cleaning, and optimize aerodynamics wash at higher vehicle speed.
  • Added alerting for residue build-up on int windshield that may impact front camera visibility, visit Service for cleaning!

Upcoming Improvements:

  • Overall smoothness and sentience
  • Parking spot selection and parking quality
