Tesla's FSD v14 Delayed to October 6 After Last-Minute Bug
Tesla has pushed back the release of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) update, version 14, to Monday, October 6. The delay comes after CEO Elon Musk found a 'last minute bug' in the latest build, despite previously announcing the rollout for this week.
The upcoming FSD v14 promises advanced features like improved 3D visualization for better autonomous driving without lidar, enhancements to Autopark and Smart Summon, and the introduction of the unreleased Banish function. It will also offer an immersive experience on a 9-inch HD display.
Musk has high hopes for the update, suggesting it could surpass human drivers in safety and performance by up to 2-3x. He likens FSD v14 to version 12, describing it as a significant leap forward, almost 'sentient' compared to earlier iterations. The update will also reduce driver attention reminders once Tesla confirms its safety in real-world driving.
The delay allows Tesla engineers to include a few more features in the update. FSD v14 will be powered by a model with 10 times more parameters than the current version, promising a substantial performance gain. Tesla's driver-assistance suite has already proven superior to Chinese ADAS competitors in recent crash avoidance tests.
Tesla's Full Self-Driving update, version 14, will now roll out on Monday, October 6, following a delay due to a last-minute bug. The update promises advanced features and improved performance, with Musk suggesting it could significantly outperform human drivers. The delay allows for additional features and further refinement of the system, bringing Tesla closer to its goal of fully autonomous driving at scale.
