Tesla has finally released a new version of Full Self-Driving (FSD). Right at midnight, Tesla began rolling out FSD (Supervised) v14.1 to early access testers. The update comes nearly a year after the last major release of FSD and is considered one of the biggest leaps for FSD yet, introducing automated parking options, new driving profiles, and enhanced neural network-based navigation.
The rollout follows a brief delay over the weekend, when CEO Elon Musk confirmed that a last-minute technical glitch had pushed the release back from its original target.
According to the release notes, version 14.1 introduces a suite of new features designed to make Tesla’s driving system smarter and more adaptable in real-world conditions. Drivers can now select where FSD should park at the end of a trip, choosing between a parking lot, street, driveway, garage, or curbside. It also adds the ability to automatically pull over or yield to emergency vehicles, such as police cars and ambulances—something which has been witnessed before, but never officially mentioned in the release notes.
First FSD v14 highway drive done!

This took me from Westwood to Santa Monica via the 405 and 10 freeways.
Hurry mode was dope, super quick and smooth- perfect speed control.

Navigation and routing have also been woven directly into Tesla’s vision-based neural network, allowing for real-time detection and avoidance of blocked roads and detours without relying solely on preloaded maps.
One of the most notable additions is a new “Speed Profile” system that lets drivers fine-tune FSD’s behaviour even more than before. New to the profile selection is “Sloth” mode, which favours lower speeds and more conservative lane changes.
The other three profiles – Chill, Standard, and Hurry, remain. Testers report that switching between modes is simple, with clear icons and an instant response when starting FSD from park, with no more delay before the car begins to move.
Early testers have noted improvements in smoothness, confidence, and decision-making, especially during unprotected turns, lane changes, and interactions with school buses and cut-ins. Tesla also refined how FSD handles road debris and both static and dynamic gates, while improving its ability to recover from system faults and degraded performance for enhanced reliability.
FSD can now also handle complex environments like parking lots and garages. Testers say it confidently waits at ticket barriers, proceeds once the arm lifts, and even appears to interpret signage to navigate toward exits. One driver noted that FSD successfully maneuvered from the back corner of a parking structure all the way out without intervention.
Owners are also reporting that the update allows FSD to not only navigate driveways, but also pull into garages—a first for the system.

Tesla has also added automatic alerts for windshield residue buildup that may impact the front camera’s performance. This appears to address something which has become a topic of conversation as of late, with Musk recently saying that simplifying the frustrating process of cleaning the interior windshield in front of Autopilot cameras was a “major area of focus.”
For now, drivers will be prompted to visit Service if visibility becomes impaired.
What’s Next for FSD
According to Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s Director of Autopilot Software, v14.1 is “the first in the v14 series,” with multiple follow-up releases planned for the rest of the year. He noted that these updates will deliver “significant improvements” to smoothness, parking accuracy, and overall driving behavior.
So far the update is limited to vehicles with Hardware 4 (HW4/AI4), with one notable exclusion – the Cybertruck. Elluswamy confirmed however that FSD v14 will bring full-featured parking and reversing capabilities, and that it would be released for the electric pickup “soon.”
As for owners with HW3, who are still stuck on v12 of FSD, there has been no updated timeline for when these vehicles might get an update.
Here are the full FSD v14.1 [2025.32.8.5] release notes:
FSD (Supervised) v14.1 includes:
• Added Arrival Options for you to select where FSD should park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, in a Driveway, in a Parking Garage, or at the Curbside.
• Added handling to pull over or yield for emergency vehicles (e.g. police cars, fire trucks, ambulances).
• Added navigation and routing into the vision-based neural network for real-time handling of blocked roads and detours.
• Added additional Speed Profile to further customize driving style preference.
• Improved handling for static and dynamic gates.
• Improved offsetting for road debris (e.g. tires, tree branches, boxes).
• Improve handling of several scenarios including: unprotected turns, lane changes, vehicle cut-ins, and school busses. Improved FSD’s ability to manage system faults and recover smoothly from degraded operation for enhanced reliability. • Added automatic narrow field washing to provide rapid and efficient front camera self-cleaning, and optimize aerodynamics wash at higher vehicle speed.
• Added alerting for residue build-up on interior windshield that may impact front camera visibility. If affected, visit Service for cleaning!
Upcoming Improvements:
• Overall smoothness and sentience • Parking spot selection and parking quality
