Tesla's FSD v14 stays composed on snow-covered roads
First winter trials of Tesla's Full Self-Driving v14 show confident handling on snow and ice, with steady low-speed maneuvers despite reduced visibility.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system has had its first taste of late-2025 winter conditions. Trials of FSD version 14 have been spotted across various regions of the United States, and the published materials suggest that snow-covered roads didn’t throw the updated software off its stride.
According to user reports, FSD kept the car on course even with limited visibility and loose snow under the wheels. The tests involved vehicles on both summer and winter tires, and the system handled descents and low-speed corners with deliberate, measured inputs. For a category where finesse at low speeds often separates promise from reality, that consistency in these runs stands out.
Developers emphasize that challenging weather is a necessary milestone on the path to full autonomy. They point to snow, ice, and reduced camera performance as persistent hurdles. It’s a pragmatic view that underscores an obvious truth: any driver-assistance stack is only as confident as the sensors can see.
