Tesla FSD v14.3.3 Relaxes Driver Monitoring, Enhances Multiple Features

Tesla has adjusted its driver monitoring system in the Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) version 14.3.3, reducing the frequency of alerts triggered when drivers look away from the road. User feedback indicates a noticeable decrease in intervention frequency with this update. This change continues a trend seen in previous versions of gradually relaxing monitoring constraints—for example, allowing drivers to briefly divert their gaze for several seconds without triggering mandatory alerts. The update also includes several other feature enhancements: Smart Summon’s maximum speed has been increased to 8 mph (approximately 12.9 km/h); voice command responsiveness to “Hey, Grok” is more stable; the visualization interface now displays richer information; acceleration in Ludicrous Mode feels smoother; and a new cumulative compliance-driving counter has been added to track safe driving behavior and provide positive reinforcement. Reviews note that the new FSD version drives more like a human—vehicle handling is calmer, with reduced body jitter and fewer unnecessary maneuvers. Additionally, Elon Musk stated in late 2025 that future FSD iterations will allow drivers to use their phones in low-risk scenarios, such as slow-moving traffic jams, based on existing safety data supporting such relaxed oversight.
