"Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased the insane capabilities of the next major Full Self-Driving update just hours after the company rolled out version 14.2 to owners. Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.2 had some major improvements from the previous iteration of v14.1.x. We were on v14.1.7, the most advanced configuration of the v14.1 family, before Tesla transitioned us and others to v14.2."
"There were some major improvements with v14.2, most notably, Tesla seemed to narrow in on the triggers that caused issues with hesitation and brake stabbing in v14.1.x. One of the most discussed issues with the past rollout was that of brake stabbing, where the vehicle would contemplate proceeding with a route as traffic was coming from other directions. We experienced it most frequently at intersections, especially four-way stop signs."
"Some owners also reported a more relaxed driver monitoring system, which is something Tesla said it was working on as it hopes to allow drivers to text during operation in the coming months. We did not test this, as laws in Pennsylvania prohibit the use of phones at any time due to the new Paul Miller's Law, which took effect earlier this year."
Full Self-Driving v14.2 introduced significant improvements over v14.1.x, narrowing triggers that caused hesitation and brake-stabbing. Brake-stabbing occurred often at intersections, especially four-way stops, when the vehicle hesitated as cross traffic approached. A 62-minute drive experienced no brake-stabbing issues. Elon Musk indicated that v14.3 will include a final major advancement, calling it “the last big piece of the puzzle.” Some owners reported a more relaxed driver-monitoring system, and Tesla aims to allow drivers to text during operation in coming months. Pennsylvania law (Paul Miller’s Law) prohibits phone use while driving, preventing local testing of texting features.
