Tesla Advances Full Self-Driving Tech, Stock Rises
Tesla shares climbed nearly 1.5% Friday as the electric vehicle Maker rolled out its latest Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software update. The FSD 14.2 release introduces enhanced capabilities for handling emergency vehicles, improved parking behavior, and upgraded vision systems—marking another step toward broader autonomy.
The update addresses critical safety scenarios with new controlled pull-over functions and yield protocols for emergency vehicles. Routing algorithms show measurable progress in managing complex urban environments, including unprotected turns and school bus interactions.
Market reaction reflects growing confidence in Tesla's autonomous technology pipeline. October's corporate commentary suggested impending expansion of FSD availability, with early adopters reporting notable performance improvements in real-world driving conditions.
