Tesla FSD not only faster on HW4; older HW3 improves 36.6 percent
Tesla’s latest Full Self-Driving software significantly improved response times to an unexpected pedestrian scenario even on the same in-car computer, a test showed. HW4 with FSD v14.3.4 was the quickest at 0.450 seconds. On HW3, FSD v14 Lite responded in 0.675 seconds, while older FSD v12.6.4 took 1.065 seconds. The comparison suggests performance depends on software as well as hardware, though it is not enough to judge overall safety.
