Tesla confirms upcoming pothole avoidance feature in FSD after seven years

📍 Drive Tesla Canada

Tesla is close to releasing pothole avoidance in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, seven years after Elon Musk first mentioned the capability. Musk recently confirmed the feature is "coming soon," although it was officially added to the roadmap in April 2026 with the FSD v14.3 update (2026.2.9.6). This version improved the neural vision encoder for better 3D geometry and complex environment understanding, and optimized the AI compiler and runtime, achieving a 20% reaction time improvement—key elements for pothole detection and avoidance. However, Tesla has not specified whether it will use f

🔎 Why it matters: The inclusion of pothole avoidance in FSD v14.3 and improvements in the neural vision encoder are concrete technical advances for autonomy.
📈 Upside: Enhances FSD’s ability to detect and avoid obstacles in real time, increasing system accuracy.
📉 Risk: It is unconfirmed whether the feature will use fleet data or only real-time vision, which may affect effectiveness.
