UPDATE: Tesla has just announced the launch of its highly anticipated FSD V14, a significant upgrade to its Full Self Driving software. This release comes 311 days after FSD V13 and is currently being installed on a limited number of consumer vehicles, with a broader rollout expected shortly.
The official build number for FSD V14 is 2025.32.8.5, and users will notice a substantial increase in download size—growing from 4GB to approximately 12GB. This release includes groundbreaking features aimed at enhancing driver safety and convenience.
One of the standout additions is the new Arrival Options, allowing users to specify where they want the vehicle to park—options include parking lots, streets, driveways, parking garages, or curbside. This marks a major improvement in user experience for FSD customers.
Additionally, FSD V14 introduces enhanced handling for emergency vehicles, allowing Tesla cars to pull over or yield for police, fire trucks, and ambulances. This upgrade is crucial for the future practicality of FSD, particularly as the company moves toward deploying robotaxis.
The latest software also integrates real-time navigation within a vision-based neural network to effectively manage blocked roads and detours, an intelligent upgrade designed to improve travel efficiency.
For those seeking personalization, FSD V14 features a new Speed Profile option, providing driving style preferences such as Sloth, Chill, Standard, and Hurry. This is a welcome addition, especially since earlier versions released in Australia lacked such options.
Moreover, the software improves handling of static and dynamic gates, vital for navigating gated communities and workplaces. Another significant enhancement is the ability to offset for road debris, such as tires and tree branches, addressing a critical safety concern for the future of robotaxis.
Safety upgrades continue with improvements in handling scenarios involving unprotected turns, lane changes, and school buses, further bolstering FSD’s safety credentials.
Tesla is also refining the system’s reliability with better management of system faults, ensuring smoother recovery from degraded operations. Users will receive alerts about residue build-up on the interior windshield, which may hinder front camera visibility, prompting them to visit Tesla Service for cleaning.
Omar from @WholeMarsBlog has shared the detailed release notes on social media, indicating the excitement surrounding these updates.
As Tesla continues to innovate in the autonomous driving space, the rollout of FSD V14 marks a pivotal moment in the journey toward fully autonomous vehicles. Stay tuned for more updates as the wider rollout begins and more users experience these groundbreaking features.
