Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, particularly version 14.3.3/14.3.4, is demonstrating capabilities that closely resemble Level 4 driverless autonomy, according to a recent test drive. The system successfully navigated complex urban and freeway conditions in Los Angeles with no driver intervention required, even handling a near-miss situation autonomously. While no advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) is perfect, Tesla's FSD is perceived to be ahead of competitors like Waymo, Rivian, Toyota, General Motors, and Ford in its development towards driverless operation.
