Tesla Cybertruck FSD v14.1.7 Rush Hour Drive

Tesla's FSD v14.1.7 shines in the Cybertruck, mastering complex urban and highway scenarios with human-like finesse, minimal interventions, and enhanced politeness in crowded areas.

Key Takeaways

• Handles rush hour traffic fluidly, maintaining safe spacing and adapting to speeds above limits.

• Navigates construction, merges, and exits confidently without overreactions.

• Prioritizes pedestrians and yields assertively in busy zones like shopping districts.

• Performs well in school zones and parking lots, though garage routing needs tweaks.

• Mad Max mode delivers controlled aggression, blending speed with empathy for smoother drives.

In this full drive from North Austin to the Domain and back, the system demonstrates remarkable progress. It cruises at up to 85 mph on toll roads, flows with fast-moving Texas traffic, and adjusts dynamically to wind, debris warnings, and erratic drivers. Urban maneuvers stand out: stopping smoothly for crosswalks, weaving through school zones at reduced speeds, and managing four-way stops amid pedestrians. Highway behavior improves with middle-lane cruising and timely passes, avoiding left-lane camping. Challenges like hesitant right-on-red turns or suboptimal parking spots highlight areas for refinement, but overall, it feels like a reliable, attentive driver. This version pushes boundaries toward unsupervised autonomy, especially in varied conditions like sun glare and heavy congestion.
