Tesla is working on faster hazard detection and improved collision avoidance for an upcoming Full Self-Driving update, Ashok Elluswamy, the company's lead AI engineer, said on X in response to a user's safety experience.

"Even earlier prediction of hazards, even faster reaction time and overall significantly better safety and collision avoidance coming as part of the next big upgrade (v15)," Elluswamy wrote.

The comment suggests v15 will focus on safety improvements in FSD's perception and decision-making systems. Specifics about the update's timing, scope, or other features remain unknown at this time.

"@SteveKBark Glad you are safe. Even earlier prediction of hazards, even faster reaction time and overall significantly better safety and collision avoidance coming as part of the next big upgrade (v15)."— X · @aelluswamy
