Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.2 - Full Review, the Good and the Bad

"With v14.2 hitting our cars yesterday, there were a handful of things we truly noticed in terms of improvement, most notably the lack of brake stabbing and hesitation, a major complaint with v14.1.x. However, in a 62-minute drive that was fully recorded, there were a lot of positives, and only one true complaint, which was something we haven't had issues with in the past."

"Perhaps the most notable and publicized issue with v14.1.x was the presence of brake stabbing and hesitation. Arriving at intersections was particularly nerve-racking on the previous version simply because of this. At four-way stops, the car would not be assertive enough to take its turn, especially when other vehicles at the same intersection would inch forward or start to move. This was a major problem. However, there were no instances of this yesterday on our lengthy drive."

Tesla rolled out Full Self-Driving v14.2 to Early Access Program members, targeting seven major improvements over the v14.1 suite. Final experience with v14.1.7 showed overall gains but also a handful of regressions and occasional small interventions related to navigation and performance. In a fully recorded 62-minute drive with v14.2, many positives were observed and only one notable complaint occurred. The most significant improvement was the elimination of brake stabbing and hesitation, with the system acting more assertively at four-way stops while remaining patient when it was not its turn. Overall performance felt smoother and more reliable.
