Sawyer Merritt's Zero-Takeover Night Run with Tesla FSD V14.1.3 in Boston
Sawyer Merritt, a prominent Tesla news curator and investor, wrapped up a demanding three-hour nighttime spin through Boston's twisty, traffic-packed streets using the car's Full Self-Driving software at version 14.1.3—and didn't touch the wheel once. This latest tweak drives like a pro chauffeur navigating rush hour: buttery smooth on turns and merges, way chiller than the last update tested in calmer countryside spots. Little blips? Just a split-second stall at one light and a quick block-loop before acing a passenger drop-off, nothing to sweat. Even when it goofed into a dead-end alley by mistake, it puzzled out the reverse on its own, no drama. Zero close calls, making it a slam-dunk for rolling out to the masses—think stress-free city jaunts where the car dodges potholes and pedestrians like it's been doing it forever.
