Tesla FSD 14.2: Brilliant… But Broken

FSD Performance & Advancements - Tesla's FSD is rapidly improving, potentially surpassing human driving capabilities in many scenarios [1][2][3] - Emergency response feature now pulls the car over and activates hazard lights, improving safety for drivers with medical conditions and enabling potential robo-taxi functionality [5][6] - Driver monitoring has been relaxed, allowing for more comfortable use of the center screen and phone, indicating increased confidence in FSD [6][7] - Camera visibility issues related to sun glare and take-over requests have been significantly reduced [8][9] FSD Regressions & Issues in Version 142% - Parking performance has regressed, with the system struggling to park correctly and exhibiting illogical parking choices [16][17][18][19] - Navigation accuracy has declined, with the car randomly abandoning its route, potentially due to the integration of vision-based neural networks for real-time handling of blocked roads [21][22][23][24] - Increased passiveness in certain situations, such as yielding to cyclists and pedestrians even when not necessary, leading to potential safety risks and driver frustration [25][26][27][28] Speed Control & Mapping Challenges - Speed control remains a significant issue, with the car often driving too fast, especially when speed limits suddenly drop [30][31][32] - Tesla's solution of capping speed at 5 mph over the limit doesn't address the core problem, as it's too fast in low-speed zones and too slow when speed limits are broken [34][35][36][37] - Inaccurate maps and navigation continue to be a problem, with the car making illegal turns or taking inefficient routes, despite repeated reporting [41][42][43][44][45] Logic & Camera Issues - FSD exhibits a lack of logic in certain situations, such as choosing inappropriate parking spots or failing to follow simple directional signs [46][47][48][49] - Camera visibility issues, specifically off-gassing, affect FSD performance by causing sun glare and take-over requests [51][52][53]
