This episode kicks off a new MotorTrend series on semi-autonomous driving systems, comparing Tesla’s camera-only approach against upcoming competitors from Mercedes-Benz and Rivian.\nTopics covered include:\n\nTesla FSD v14 real-world freeway and city performance\nMad Max mode, lane changes, and aggressive California traffic\nRivian R2 pricing, specs, suspension tech, and autonomy roadmap\nLevel 2 vs Level 3 autonomy explained\nVision-only vs radar/LiDAR debate Autonomy in harsh winter conditions\nThe future of hands-free and eyes-off driving\nDoes Tesla’s data flywheel give it an insurmountable lead?\nIs Rivian’s R2 the true Model Y competitor? And what happens when autonomy reaches Level 3?\n\nWatch (or listen) as the system handles freeways, city streets, four-way stops — and almost parks itself.\n"},"annotations":[{"startTime":27.8,"endTime":35.3,"type":"term","title":"full self-driving","url":"/glossary/full-self-driving","quote":"...that has full self-driving supervised version 14 and we're going to pick up our colleague Frank Marcus...","canonicalId":"term:full-self-driving","priority":0.9,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Full self-driving (FSD) refers to Tesla's advanced driver assistance system that enables the vehicle to navigate and drive itself under certain conditions.
