Tesla Starts Rolling Out FSD v14.1 With Robotaxi-Style Arrival Options and Vision-Based Routing

Built on Robotaxi learnings, the update introduces vision-based routing plus arrival choices for parking as Tesla signals more releases this year under continued driver supervision.

Overview

  • The staged rollout began late Monday in the U.S. for vehicles with Hardware 4, with Tesla skipping a 14.0 build and making 14.1 the first public v14 release.
  • Release notes detail new Arrival Options that let drivers choose parking at lots, streets, driveways, garages or curbside, along with behavior to pull over or yield for emergency vehicles.
  • Navigation and routing are now integrated into the vision-based neural network for real-time detours, while improvements cover gates, road debris, unprotected turns, lane changes, school buses, fault recovery, camera self-cleaning and residue alerts.
  • A new Speed Profiles setup, including a more conservative Sloth mode, arrives alongside UI changes that allow starting self-driving with a tap and adjusting settings from the Autopilot visualization.
  • Early user videos show better navigation in parking garages and successful driveway-to-garage parking, though some owner reviews still cite illogical routing, persistent left-lane cruising and inconsistent parking; Tesla stresses the system remains supervised, and VP Ashok Elluswamy says multiple v14 updates with significant improvements will ship before year-end.
