Cybertruck on FSD Clears Path for Ambulance at Red Light [VIDEO]

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is demonstrating behavior beyond routine driving. New footage shows a Cybertruck on FSD making room for an ambulance from a full stop at a red light without any driver input.

Cybertruck owner @mrtimer2022 posted the video on X, noting the truck was stopped in the middle of five lanes of traffic when an ambulance approached from behind and the intersection was mostly blocked.

How FSD Cleared the Way

Dashcam clips from the truck’s external cameras show the vehicle at 0 mph with Self-Driving active. As the ambulance’s lights become visible, FSD activates the right turn signal and slowly creeps forward, then turns right across three lanes into an open pocket. That creates a clear lane for the ambulance, which proceeds through the intersection without slowing down. Once safe, the Cybertruck merges onto the new road and accelerates.

FSD also updated navigation automatically to reflect the unexpected turn. The owner emphasized that “this wasn’t just a pull over while driving,” describing it as “a full ‘let’s make a gap for that emergency and keep them on their way’ purposeful action from a full stop.” The behavior highlights progress compared to early challenges with emergency vehicles.

FSD Keeps Getting Smarter

This incident is another example of FSD handling increasingly complex situations and reacting to traffic in real time. Tesla recently added Automatic Collision Evasion, a feature that can engage FSD to steer around a crash when braking alone isn’t sufficient, even while you’re driving manually. It can also re-engage FSD if the cabin camera detects severe inattentiveness or if FSD is accidentally disengaged. The feature is exclusive to HW4 vehicles.

Older vehicles are improving as well. Tesla is rolling out FSD v14 Lite, a distilled version of v14 for HW3 vehicles, and it recently reached legacy Intel Model S and Model X vehicles for the first time.

More Improvements on the Way

Tesla has confirmed navigation improvements and pothole detection are coming, including smarter routing that learns from preferred routes. The company is also working on better nighttime driving, where the main challenge is spotting and avoiding pets that are hard to see in the dark.

FSD v15, expected later this year or early next year, will increase the system’s neural network parameters 10x, from about 1 billion to 10 billion. With that additional capacity, edge cases such as creating space for an emergency vehicle should become even easier for FSD to handle.
