Tesla FSD avoids obstacles in 0.13 seconds in real-world test
Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) version 14.3 demonstrated a reaction time of only 0.13 seconds to unexpected obstacles in tests conducted by AI DRIVR and David Moss. Using an inflatable dummy named Dan O, thrown in front of a moving Model Y, the system detected and executed evasive maneuvers at 32 mph within just four video frames at 30 fps. Even at 40 mph, the vehicle performed precise swerves to avoid collisions. However, a limitation was found in pre-Juniper Model Y versions lacking a low-level front camera, creating a blind spot when reversing after stopping for the obstacle.
- FSD v14.3 reacts in 0.13 seconds to obstacles at 32 mph
- Pre-Juniper Model Y lacks low front camera, causing blind spot when reversing
🔎 Why it matters: FSD version 14.3 showed an ultrafast 0.13-second reaction time, a key safety metric for the Model Y.
📈 Upside: Significant improvement in high-speed obstacle detection and avoidance with FSD v14.3.
📉 Risk: Lack of low front camera in pre-Juniper Model Y creates a blind spot when reversing after obstacle avoidance.
