Tesla has started rolling out FSD V14.3.3 (software version 2026.14.6.6), bringing a notable change to its Actually Smart Summon feature. The maximum speed at which the car can autonomously navigate a parking lot to reach its owner has been increased from 6 mph to 8 mph — a one-third improvement that should make the feature feel a bit more responsive in everyday use.
Actually Smart Summon allows Tesla owners to call their vehicle to their location via the mobile app, without being physically present in or near the car. While 8 mph is still a very modest pace — roughly equivalent to a brisk jog — the improvement reduces waiting time and makes the feature more practical in larger parking facilities.
Beyond the Summon speed bump, the update carries a more architecturally significant change: it's the first time Tesla has merged the Spring 2026 general software feature set with the FSD branch. This convergence suggests Tesla is working toward a more unified software platform, which could streamline future development and reduce the complexity of maintaining separate code branches.
The update arrives over-the-air, meaning eligible Tesla owners worldwide receive it without a service visit. As Tesla continues iterating on FSD — now on version 14 — these incremental improvements reflect the company's ongoing push to make its autonomous driving suite more capable and commercially viable across global markets.
