Tesla FSD Clears Path for Ambulance at Red Light in Cybertruck Footage

New footage shows a Tesla Cybertruck using Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to autonomously clear a path for an approaching ambulance while stopped at a red light, executing a complex maneuver without driver input.

What Happened

Cybertruck owner @mrtimer2022 shared video on X showing the vehicle stopped at 0 mph in the middle of five lanes of traffic with Self-Driving active. As an ambulance approached from behind with its lights on, FSD engaged the right turn signal and crept forward, turning right across three lanes into an open pocket. This action left a clear lane for the ambulance to pass through the intersection without slowing down. After the ambulance passed, the Cybertruck merged onto the new road and accelerated, while FSD automatically updated the navigation to account for the unplanned turn.

Why It Matters

This incident highlights the growing capability of Tesla's autonomy stack to handle complex, real-time traffic interactions that go beyond simple lane keeping or following. The owner described the action as a purposeful effort to "make a gap for that emergency," contrasting it with earlier FSD versions that struggled with emergency vehicle interactions. The event also coincides with Tesla's recent rollout of Automatic Collision Evasion for HW4 vehicles and the expansion of FSD v14 Lite to legacy Intel Model S and Model X cars, indicating a broad push to refine autonomy features across the fleet.

The Bottom Line

Tesla continues to demonstrate advanced autonomous responses to emergency vehicles, with future improvements expected in FSD v15, which is projected for release later this year or early next year and will increase neural network parameters tenfold.
