First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe!
Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.
BREAKING: Tesla has officially released FSD V14.3
I'm downloading it in my Model Y right now. Here's everything that's new:
โข Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a P icon.
โข Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering.
โข Rewrote the Al compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed.
โข Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles.
โข Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors.
โข Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety.
โข Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping - driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet.
โข Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios.
โข Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding.
โข Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet.
โข Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements.
Upcoming Improvements:
โข Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling.
โข Add pothole avoidance.
โข Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.
