Overview
- The update (software 2025.38.9.5) is reaching a small group of AI4/HW4 cars, with early confirmations from Model Y owners in California.
- Release notes cite an upgraded high‑resolution vision encoder to improve recognition of emergency vehicles, road obstacles, and human gestures.
- New features include Arrival Options for parking selection and an additional Speed Profile to refine driving style.
- Behavioral changes add yielding or pull‑over responses for emergency vehicles and fold routing into the vision network for blocked roads and detours.
- Tesla and testers expect broader availability to follow, though prior NHTSA scrutiny over aggressive speed modes and regional approvals, especially in Europe, could temper pace.
