Lot of exciting features in this holiday update! I'm hoping we see some huge navigation and FSD improvements within this month as well. Maybe we get lucky, and they also start to improve smart summon soon? Right now, I rarely use it due to how slow it is, and the short distance it works at. Surely if Tesla is feeling so confident in their system that they are willing to reduce attention monitoring this means that they are confident to increase smart summons range at least right?

AI Drivr did a great video yesterday about FSD 14.2, and I think it perfectly sums up where we are at with FSD at the moment, and how it is still lacking in a lot of areas. Here is the video for anyone interested.

Yay, another Holiday Update of only minor improvements for Intel Vehicles :D Of all the features that may come to Intel, i like the integration of driving data into dashcam the most as its kinda useful to know. But will we even get it in Europe as FSD is not approved? Depends on where this data is fetched from i guess

Looks like the phone app has an update to 4.51.5 that allows remote viewing of the selfies, so perhaps we are on the verger of the car update coming out.

I don’t know why the site hasn’t updated, since the app update itself mentions that the car needs software update 2025.44.25+ for the new features.

I sure hope so. Right now FSD doesn’t even seem to know they exist.
I can understand the idea of having this in the navigation function since it could easily make an hour difference predicting your commute time with or without HOV. But if FSD doesn't use HOV correctly, it's kind of worthless information.

Yes, it appears that it's purely for the navigation at the moment. Because FSD doesn't even want to get into the HOV lanes the majority of the time, even if you signal into it, or when you drive it in there, it will want to switch out of the lanes.
