Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced the highly anticipated release date for Full Self-Driving’s next major update: v14.3. Tesla owners with Hardware 4 have been eagerly awaiting this new release, especially since the current version, v14.2.2.5, has received mixed reviews.
According to Musk, v14.3 is expected to be a game changer for Full Self-Driving, with the CEO stating that it will be where “the last big piece of the puzzle lands.” The update is set to introduce reasoning and reinforcement learning to enhance the decision-making capabilities of the autonomous driving system. Musk also hinted at the possibility of Tesla needing to build a giant chip fab to meet the demand for AI chips for future releases.
Initially scheduled for a January or February release, v14.3 aims to improve various aspects of Full Self-Driving, including Navigation, which has been a common complaint among current users. While v14.2 has shown significant improvements over earlier versions, recent updates have been met with confusion due to a mix of progress and regression in certain features.
Musk recently confirmed that Tesla is already testing v14.3 internally and anticipates a wide release “in a few weeks,” likely by late April. There is hope that this update could pave the way for Robotaxis in Austin, Texas, some of which operate without a driver. Additionally, v14.3 may introduce new features such as “Banish,” or “Reverse Summon,” which would autonomously find a parking spot after dropping off passengers.
As Tesla fans eagerly await the release of v14.3, there is a sense of anticipation for the potential improvements it could bring to Full Self-Driving. Many users have expressed their desire for Navigation errors to be addressed, as this continues to be a common issue for daily FSD users.
Overall, the upcoming release of v14.3 has sparked excitement among Tesla enthusiasts, who are eager to see how this update will enhance the capabilities of Full Self-Driving and potentially revolutionize the autonomous driving experience. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated release.
