Tesla targets Q2 2027 rollout of unsupervised FSD for customers
Tesla has set the second quarter of 2027 as the target for introducing unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) for customer-owned vehicles. The plan does not envisage privately owned cars driving anywhere without driver intervention through a software update. Instead, owners would need to place their vehicles into Tesla’s managed robotaxi fleet, limiting unsupervised operation to areas where the robotaxi service already runs. The rollout faces constraints including operating zones, road types, regulation and hardware compatibility.

Tesla rolls out FSD v14 Lite for HW3, still without unsupervised self-driving
Tesla has begun rolling out Full Self-Driving (FSD) v14 Lite for HW3 vehicles, marking the first large-scale update for about 4 million cars stuck on FSD v12.6 since early 2025. The update is initially for early-access users and aims to bring v14 driving behavior to HW3 hardware. Tesla and executives say safety and several functions have improved, but it remains a supervised Level 2 driver-assistance system and does not enable unsupervised self-driving.
