Tesla Rolls Out Major FSD Updates: Enhanced AI, Dynamic Routing, and Weather Integration
  • The latest updates for Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, versions 12.6.2 and 13.2.5, were officially released on January 22, 2025.

  • These updates are being rolled out to vehicles equipped with Hardware 3 (HW3) and Hardware 4 (HW4), including the Model 3.

  • Version 13.2.5 enhances the driving network with features such as 36 Hz full-resolution AI4 video inputs, 4.2 times data scaling, and a reduction in latency by half.

  • The update also introduces speed profiles tailored for both city streets and highways, improved collision avoidance predictions, and dynamic routing to navigate around detected road closures.

  • A new camera visibility detection feature has been added, which alerts drivers about poor camera visibility at the end of a drive, with images stored locally for two days unless sharing is enabled.

  • Drivers now have the option to share sound detection data with Tesla, which can enhance safety features by helping the system recognize emergency vehicles.

  • Additionally, the vehicle's navigation map now includes real-time precipitation and weather updates for the destination, although this feature requires Premium Connectivity.

  • Future improvements planned for version 13.2.5 include a threefold increase in model size scaling, audio inputs for better handling of emergency vehicles, and enhanced navigation options.

  • While the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature allows for navigation with lane changes and turns under driver supervision, it does not render the vehicle fully autonomous.

  • Previous updates, such as version 12.6, have also introduced more natural lane change decisions, a redesigned controller for smoother tracking, and an updated maximum speed feature that optimizes speed within legal limits.
