Tesla has rolled out Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.2.2 as part of software update 2025.45.5. This release is clearly focused on two major additions: Arrival Options and UI Improvements. Together, they significantly improve how drivers interact with FSD and push the experience closer to real-world Robotaxi use. Other changes in this version are mostly incremental refinements to existing capabilities.
Arrival Options: A Smarter “Last Mile” Experience
Arrival Options is the standout new feature in FSD v14.2.2. Drivers can now tell FSD exactly how they want the vehicle to behave when reaching a destination, instead of simply stopping at a fixed navigation point.
Available arrival options include:
- Parking Lot
- Street
- Driveway
- Parking Garage
- Curbside
These preferences are saved on a per-destination basis. Tesla’s reasoning model also evaluates the environment and selects an intuitive default option when appropriate. The navigation pin is automatically adjusted based on the selected Arrival Option, making drop-offs and parking feel far more natural and intentional—an important step toward Robotaxi-style operation.
Arrival Options is currently available in the United States on HW4 vehicles, including Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck.
UI Improvements: A More Intuitive Way to Use FSD
Alongside Arrival Options, Tesla introduced meaningful UI Improvements that simplify how drivers interact with Full Self-Driving.
Key UI updates include:
- A new Self-Driving stats section under Controls > Autopilot, allowing drivers to review their FSD usage data
- The ability to start Self-Driving with a single tap on the touchscreen while in Park or at any point during a drive
- Quick access to key settings—such as Speed Profile and Arrival Options—directly from the Autopilot visualization on the center display
While subtle, these changes significantly reduce friction and make FSD feel more polished and user-friendly.
Other Improvements at a Glance
Beyond the two headline features, FSD v14.2.2 includes several background enhancements:
- An upgraded vision neural network encoder with higher-resolution features, improving recognition of emergency vehicles, road obstacles, and human gestures
- New behavior to pull over or yield for police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances
- Deeper integration of navigation and routing into the vision-based neural network for handling road closures and detours
- Additional Speed Profile options for finer driving-style customization
- Improved handling of unprotected turns, lane changes, vehicle cut-ins, school buses, and static or dynamic gates
- Better system fault management and smoother recovery from degraded operation
- Alerts for residue buildup on the interior windshield that may affect front camera visibility
- Automatic narrow-field camera washing for faster self-cleaning (available on 2026+ Model Y only)
Conclusion
FSD v14.2.2 is less about dramatic driving breakthroughs and more about meaningful usability upgrades. Arrival Options answers the long-standing question of “where should the car stop,” while UI Improvements make Full Self-Driving easier and more intuitive to use. Together, these updates signal Tesla’s continued shift toward a more seamless, autonomous driving experience.
