#FSD

On June 29, Tesla released FSD v14 Lite, which distills HW4-level V14 intelligence onto HW3 hardware, enabling HW3 vehicles to access reinforcement learning and offline models previously exclusive to HW4. The update also introduces parking, unparking, and reversing functions for the first time. This update significantly extends the lifespan of older HW3 vehicles by bringing cutting-edge autonomous driving capabilities to millions of existing owners without hardware upgrades. It demonstrates Tesla's engineering prowess in model distillation and reinforces its commitment to continuous software improvement across hardware generations. FSD v14 Lite improves navigation, lane merging, pedestrian interaction, traffic light handling, and cut-in responses, while reducing unnecessary braking and enhancing steering smoothness and lane centering. The update also adds full-time speed profile customization for driving style personalization.
