Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has been put to the test in a head-to-head comparison between Hardware 3 (HW3) and Hardware 4 (HW4) by Devin Olsen of the Canada FSD YouTube channel.

During the test loop, it was found that while HW3 is still highly capable, it lacks some of the advanced features and finesse that HW4 offers. The HW3 vehicle encountered navigation errors, such as entering a one-way path it couldn’t reverse out of,…
