Tesla Full Self-Driving can take control to avoid collisions during manual driving
Tesla has released version 14.3.9 of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised software, which can now intervene and take control of the vehicle to avoid a collision even when the driver is manually driving. This update includes a new active safety feature set that allows FSD to take directional control if Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is insufficient to prevent a crash. Additionally, the system may engage if it detects driver distraction or if FSD was accidentally disengaged, acting as a background safety net during manual driving.
- FSD v14.3.9 can take control to avoid collisions during manual driving
- System activates if AEB is insufficient or driver is distracted
🔎 Why it matters: Version 14.3.9 of FSD introduces a feature that allows directional control to avoid collisions even without manual activation, expanding active safety coverage.
📈 Upside: Improves accident avoidance by enabling evasive maneuvers when braking alone is insufficient.
📉 Risk: False activations taking directional control could create hazardous situations.
