"MotorTrend awarded Tesla FSD (Supervised) its 2026 Best Tech Driver Assistance title after extensive testing of the latest v14 software. The publication acknowledged that it had previously criticized earlier versions of FSD for erratic behavior and near-miss incidents, ultimately favoring rivals such as GM's Super Cruise in earlier evaluations. According to MotorTrend, the newest iteration of FSD resolved many of those shortcomings. Testers said v14 showed far smoother behavior in complex urban scenarios, including unprotected left turns, traffic circles, emergency vehicles, and dense city streets."
"Unlike rival systems that rely on combinations of cameras, radar, lidar, and mapped highways, Tesla's FSD operates using a camera-only approach and is capable of driving on city streets, rural roads, and freeways. MotorTrend stated that pure utility, the ability to handle nearly all road types, ultimately separated FSD from competitors like Ford BlueCruise, GM Super Cruise, and BMW's Highway Assistant."
MotorTrend named Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) the 2026 Best Tech Driver Assistance after extensive testing of the v14 software. Judges cited major real-world improvements that pushed the latest FSD ahead of other advanced driver-assistance systems, marking a reversal from prior evaluations that favored rivals. Testers reported v14 delivered far smoother behavior in complex urban scenarios, including unprotected left turns, traffic circles, emergency vehicles, and dense city streets. The system still requires constant driver supervision, but no other ADAS currently matches its breadth of capability. Tesla's FSD uses a camera-only approach and can operate on city streets, rural roads, and freeways, emphasizing pure utility over sensor fusion or mapped-highway constraints.
