Tesla FSD v14.3.9 Adds New Automatic Collision Evasion Feature to Help Respond to Potential Crash Risks

• Steering
• Braking
• Acceleration

to help move the vehicle away from a dangerous path if it determines that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) may not be enough to avoid a collision.

How Is It Different from AEB?
AEB is primarily designed to detect a potential collision and automatically apply the brakes to reduce speed or help lessen the severity of an impact.
In comparison, Automatic Collision Evasion can use FSD capabilities to assist with vehicle direction as well, giving the system more options in situations where braking alone may not be sufficient.

A Key Highlight: It Can Work While the Driver Is Driving Manually
One of the most interesting aspects of Automatic Collision Evasion is that it can intervene even when the driver is manually controlling the vehicle and FSD is not currently engaged.

This expands the role of FSD beyond simply assisting with driving from one destination to another. It also allows the technology to act as an additional active safety layer in emergencies.

FSD Is Still a Supervised System
Despite these added capabilities, Tesla still calls the system Full Self-Driving (Supervised).
This means drivers must remain attentive to their surroundings, stay focused on driving, and be ready to take control of the vehicle at any time.
Automatic Collision Evasion should therefore be viewed as an additional driver-assistance feature, not a system that can guarantee the prevention of every accident.

Will Tesla Owners in Thailand Get This Feature?
Availability of FSD and its features may vary depending on the country, vehicle model, hardware, and software version.

Therefore, the rollout of FSD v14.3.9 does not mean that every Tesla in Thailand will immediately receive Automatic Collision Evasion. Owners should check which features are actually available on their vehicles.

Summary
Automatic Collision Evasion in Tesla FSD v14.3.9 is another notable development in Tesla’s safety technology. The system can assist with steering, braking, and acceleration when responding to a potential collision in situations where AEB alone may not be sufficient.
The key point is that the system can intervene even while the driver is manually controlling the vehicle. However, drivers must still remain attentive and ready to take control at all times, as FSD remains a supervised system and is not fully autonomous driving.
