Exclusive Preview of Tesla's Full Self-Driving Version 14.2.2.3
Yesterday, Tesla launched the latest iteration of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to its early access cohort. FSD version 14.2.2.3 comes with the 2025.45.8 update. Although it seems to be a modest update from FSD v14.2.2.2, users are already...
Yesterday, Tesla introduced the latest iteration of FSD to its early access group. FSD v14.2.2.3, accompanied by update 2025.45.8, may seem like a minor update from FSD v14.2.2.2, but early users are already noticing significant behavioral changes.
Although the release notes have not been altered, feedback from early-access testing indicates that this release includes more enhancements rather than just minor fixes.
An exciting feature of Tesla FSD v14.2.2.3 is its capability to navigate through a 5-level parking garage, approach the ticket dispenser, and exit smoothly as the gate lifts. Users have praised this functionality, referring to it as flawless.
Improved Low-Speed Awareness
One of the most noticeable enhancements in v14.2.2.3 is the improved spatial awareness at low speeds, particularly evident in FSD Autopark. Previously, FSD's parking performance, when not manually initiated via Autopark, was often hesitant, requiring multiple adjustments to position the vehicle correctly, or occasionally missing the spot altogether.
Recent tests have demonstrated enhanced parking precision upon reaching the destination, with the vehicle exhibiting more confidence and successfully parking in a single maneuver. Whether in perpendicular charging stalls or tight parallel street parking situations, FSD has excelled without the need for corrections or realignments. The system now anticipates reversing maneuvers more effectively, showcasing the advancement in FSD's decision-making capabilities.
The system's logical reasoning is evident when FSD corrected its path in a parking garage by executing a 3-point turn before continuing.
This precision extends to the final moments of parking, with early users observing better centering of the vehicle in parking spots or when pulling over.
Improved High-Speed Reactions
On the flip side, v14.2.2.3 displays increased confidence in high-speed driving scenarios. During spirited driving, particularly in Mad Max mode on challenging canyon roads, FSD now exhibits enhanced capabilities.
The subtle refinements ensure that FSD responds accurately during dynamic turns, maintaining proper alignment. This increased confidence also translates to highway driving, resulting in a smoother overall experience with improved performance in overtaking and merging scenarios for both Hurry and Mad Max modes.
FSD v14.2.2.3 serves as a testament to the significance of incremental advancements in the realm of AI and neural networks. Despite the version number and release notes implying minor changes, early testing reveals a significantly smoother and well-executed driving experience.
Update 2025.45.8
While FSD v14.2.2.3 remains accessible to early access users and a select few owners, there are indications that it may become available to additional customers in the coming week. The upcoming major update, FSD 14.3, is anticipated to introduce enhanced reasoning capabilities.
