Tesla AI3 models getting smooth FSD visualization

Tesla is rolling out a new v12.5.4.2 Full Self Driving (FSD) for Hardware 3 (AI3) models and it comes with smooth visualization as reported by the users.

The company pushed this update a few days ago with software build 2024.33.5 and different models are eligible to download the new upgrade.

Not only that the company has installed new Smart Summon and Dumb Summon improvements for users including:

• Public/High-Speed Roads pause your ASS maneuver
• improved Blocked Camera Aborts
• Reduced False Positive Collision Mitigation Aborts
• Refined Dumb Summon behavior at curbs
• Added Custom/Fart Completion Sounds

The visualization change is not documented in the changelog. Instead, customers have been noticing this upgrade while engaging FSD.

FSD takes visual input from the surrounding camera system and visualizes it in real-time on the front display. The company has been doing this since FSD’s initial launch. However, the new upgrade has surfaced with the FSD 12.5.6 release on AI4 models.

Video shows that the car’s movement, upcoming and ongoing traffic, and any other event shown in the FSD map is quicker and smoother than a prior version.

Ashok Elluswaymy, Vice President of AI Software at Tesla has shared a key reason behind this visualistic upgrade. Elluswamy said the new rendering was achieved after fixing a 4-year-old bug. This bug has been holding the frames from adopting according to the hardware.
