Tesla has not shipped FSD V13 yet, but the system’s latest update that has been released to consumers is already a very capable and safe advanced driver assist suite. This was highlighted by Tesla recently when it shared some videos of FSD safety tests being conducted in closed courses.

As it turns out, Tesla really does push FSD’s capabilities to ensure that it can react in a proper and safe manner to as many edge cases as possible. In its post on social media platform X, the Tesla AI team shared 16 videos of FSD reacting to rare and adversarial scenarios.

While each of the tests were done in closed courses, Tesla VP of AI Software Ashok Elluswamy noted that the tests were motivated by real-world events that were recorded by the company’s FSD customer fleet. The executive also noted that each of the tests was conducted using the latest version of FSD that’s been widely shipped to customers, V12.5.6.3.

“These tests were motivated by real world events from our customer fleet. Kudos to our talented and brave validation team to test these difficult and scary corner cases. The track tests are one of the more than 10 different validation methods for FSD,” Elluswamy wrote in a post on X. 

Following are the FSD safety test videos shared by the Tesla AI team.
