Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, version 14.2, is here, and early reports from drivers using the Early Access Program are overwhelmingly positive. One of the biggest complaints with the previous version, 14.1.x, was about inconsistent braking – sometimes too sudden, sometimes hesitant, especially at intersections. Drivers often felt their cars weren't assertive enough in traffic.

Now, with v14.2, those concerns seem to be largely resolved. The car feels much more confident and smoother, making better decisions at tricky spots like four-way stops. This means a more relaxed and predictable ride for everyone inside. The update also refines how the car handles different speed profiles, making it easier for drivers to tell the difference between a "Standard" cruise and a "Hurry" mode, especially on highways. The overall driving experience is described as much smoother and more comfortable, with excellent decision-making and seamless lane changes.

While most aspects have seen significant upgrades, there's one small area that still needs a bit of work: parking. Some users found that the car's automatic parking wasn't as precise as they'd like, occasionally requiring manual adjustments. However, this seems to be the only notable drawback in an otherwise impressive update that pushes Tesla's self-driving ambitions forward, enhancing convenience and safety on the road. This advancement is especially important as the technology expands to new regions like South Korea, bringing advanced driving features to more global users.
