Tesla Full Self-Driving V14 ‘Lite’ for Older Cars Finally Gets Released
The supervised update adds parking, reversing and improved navigation handling as Tesla starts testing it with early-access drivers.
- On Monday, Tesla released its Full Self-Driving v14 'Lite' suite to early-access drivers, bringing updated software capabilities to vehicles equipped with the Hardware 3 chip.
- The update distills intelligence from AI4's v14 series to help the HW3 computer handle complex scenarios, though it remains a supervised, hands-on Level 2 system.
- Head of AI Ashok Elluswamy confirmed the rollout is currently limited to high-Safety-Score drivers in the Early Access Group, with a wider release expected in the coming weeks.
- CEO Elon Musk admitted during an earnings call that HW3 cars cannot achieve the unsupervised autonomy buyers originally paid up to $15,000 for, fueling customer frustration.
- Legal challenges persist, including a Dutch collective claim representing 7,000 owners, as Tesla continues to face pressure to replace the hardware or compensate customers for the unmet capability.
