Tesla FSD V14.3.6 Reportedly Swerved Toward Ditch on Highway
Driver claims the system's errant maneuver occurred without any apparent reason or obstacle.
A Tesla owner is reporting that the company's Full Self-Driving software version 14.3.6 made an unexpected maneuver while driving on the highway, swerving sharply toward a roadside ditch.
What Happened
According to the driver's account, Tesla's FSD v14.3.6 system suddenly initiated a sharp swerve that would have sent the vehicle off the road into a ditch. The driver reports there was no apparent reason for the maneuver—no obstacle, debris, or traffic situation that would justify the evasive action. The incident occurred on a highway where the exit had already been passed when the system attempted the lane change.
Why It Matters
This reported incident adds to ongoing scrutiny of Tesla's FSD system, particularly regarding its decision-making in complex driving scenarios. For current FSD users and potential buyers, such reports highlight the importance of remaining attentive while using the system. The discrepancy between what the system perceived and actual road conditions raises questions about version 14.3.6's environmental interpretation capabilities.
The Bottom Line
Tesla's FSD v14.3.6 is under scrutiny following a driver's report of an unexplained swerve toward a roadside ditch on a highway. Tesla has not publicly responded to the specific incident.
