Watch Tesla FSD Clear a Path for an Ambulance at a Red Light [VIDEO]

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is handling more than routine driving these days. New footage shows a Cybertruck on FSD clearing a path for an ambulance from a full stop at a red light, without any input from the driver.

Cybertruck owner @mrtimer2022 shared the video on X, saying the truck was stopped in the middle of five lanes of traffic when an ambulance approached from behind, with the intersection mostly blocked.

How FSD Cleared the Way

Dashcam clips from the Cybertruck’s external cameras show the truck sitting at 0 mph with Self-Driving active. As the ambulance’s lights appear behind it, FSD engages the right turn signal and starts creeping forward, turning right across three lanes into an open pocket. That leaves a clear lane for the ambulance, which passes through the intersection without slowing down. Once it’s safe, the truck merges onto the new road and picks up speed.

FSD also updated the truck’s navigation automatically to account for the unplanned turn. The owner noted that “this wasn’t just a pull over while driving,” calling it “a full ‘let’s make a gap for that emergency and keep them on their way’ purposeful action from a full stop.” The maneuver shows that FSD today is worlds ahead of the troubles it had with emergency vehicles during its early days.

FSD Keeps Getting Smarter

This is the latest example of FSD taking on more complex situations and reacting to traffic in real time. Tesla recently added Automatic Collision Evasion, a new feature that can engage FSD to steer around a crash when braking alone isn’t enough, even while you’re driving manually. It can also re-engage FSD if the cabin camera spots severe inattentiveness or FSD is accidentally disengaged. The feature is exclusive to HW4 vehicles.

Not a Tesla App

Older cars are improving too. Tesla is rolling out FSD v14 Lite, a distilled version of v14 for HW3 vehicles, and it recently reached legacy Intel Model S and Model X vehicles for the first time.

More Improvements on the Way

Tesla has confirmed navigation improvements and pothole detection are coming, including smarter routing that learns from your preferred routes. Tesla is also working to solve nighttime driving, where Elon Musk says the main challenge is spotting and avoiding pets that are hard to see in the dark.

Then there’s FSD v15, which is expected later this year or early next year. It’ll increase the underlying neural network parameters 10x, from about 1 billion to 10 billion. With that much more capacity, edge cases like making room for an emergency vehicle should become even easier for FSD to handle.
