Two users on X reported that Tesla's FSD Lite version 14.1 fails to detect fallen trees and logs on the road, requiring manual intervention to avoid collisions. FSD Lite is designed to run on Hardware 3, which has lower computing power and 1.2-megapixel cameras compared to Hardware 4's 5-megapixel cameras. Elon Musk acknowledged that Hardware 3 cannot support full self-driving capabilities. These incidents highlight detection issues with this software and hardware combination.
