Tesla has officially begun rolling out software version 2026.2.9, introducing a notable shift in how the company brands its driver-assistance technology. The update renames several core features, most notably rebranding “Navigate on Autopilot” to “Navigate on Autosteer.”
The naming update also extends to the vehicle’s hardware, with the FSD Computer now officially referred to as the AI Computer.”Tesla notes that while the names have changed to better reflect the underlying technology, the actual behavior of the features remains the same.
Beyond the rebranding, the update includes FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5, which brings Robotaxi-style arrival options. Drivers can now choose specifically where they want the car to park upon arrival, such as in a driveway, a parking garage, or at the curbside. The update also introduces new speed profiles, including a conservative “SLOTH” mode and a high-speed “MAD MAX” setting, which changes how aggressively the car handles lane changes and traffic.
“Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere,” the release notes state, while reminding drivers that the system “does not make your vehicle autonomous.”
Autopilot Naming Update
This change only updates the name of certain features and text in your vehicle, and does not change the way your features behave.
Navigate on Autopilot has been renamed to Navigate on Autosteer
FSD Computer has been renamed to AI Computer.
FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 includes:
Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, leveraging higher resolution features to further improve scenarios like handling emergency vehicles, obstacles on the road, and human gestures.
Added Arrival Options for you to select where FSD should park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, in a Driveway, in a Parking Garage, or at the Curbside.
Added handling to pull over or yield for emergency vehicles (e.g. police cars, fire trucks, ambulances).
Added navigation and routing into the vision-based neural network for real-time handling of blocked roads and detours.
Added additional Speed Profile to further customize driving style preference.
Improved handling for static and dynamic gates.
Improved offsetting for road debris (e.g. tires, tree branches, boxes).
Improve handling of several scenarios including: unprotected turns, lane changes, vehicle cut-ins, and school busses.
Improved FSD’s ability to manage system faults and recover smoothly from degraded operation for enhanced reliability.
Added alerting for residue build-up on interior windshield that may impact front camera visibility. If affected, visit Service for cleaning!
Camera visibility can lead to increased attention monitoring sensitivity.
Upcoming Improvements:
Overall smoothness and sentience
Parking spot selection and parking quality
Arrival Options
You can now select an arrival option such as Parking Lot, Street, Driveway, Parking Garage and Curbside for Robotaxi-style drop offs.
Your preferences for arrival options and preferred parking positions are persisted for each destination.
Our reasoning model will assess the suitable options for your destination and pick an intuitive default.
The navigation pin will be adjusted based on the selected Arrival Option.
Speed Profiles
FSD (Supervised) will now determine the appropriate speed based on a mix of driver profile, speed limit, and surrounding traffic.
Introduced new Speed Profile SLOTH, which comes with lower speeds & more conservative lane selection than CHILL.
Introduced new speed profile MAD MAX, which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than HURRY.
Driver profile now has a stronger impact on behavior. The more assertive the profile, the higher the max speed.
Right scroll-wheel up/down now adjusts Speed Profile setting rather than your precise max speed offset selection in mph/kph.
UI Improvements
You can now view your Self-Driving stats under Controls > Self-Driving.
Start Self-Driving with a tap of the touchscreen from Park, or any time during your drive.
Adjust settings like the Speed Profile and Arrival Options directly from the Self-Driving visualization on the center display.
Brake Confirm
Brake Confirm for the Start Self-Driving button is now defaulted off. When disabled, Start Self-Driving will not require you to press and release the brake to confirm engagement. You can enable Brake Confirm in Self-Driving > Brake Confirm.
