Tesla Robotaxi shows new FSD capabilities: emergency, camera care, and more.

Can a car without a driver recognize ambulances, perform U-turns, and clean its own cameras? Tesla's Robotaxi in Austin proves just that – setting the bar for the next FSD generation. We summarize the most important innovations and explain what owners here can soon expect.

Overview of New FSD Features

Recognizing Emergency Vehicles & Making Space
The Robotaxi combines image and audio data, blinks, brakes, and confidently moves to the roadside. An essential step for approval on public roads.
Automatic Camera Cleaning
With its own wipe/wash program, the front camera remains clear – a clever detail that makes constant manual maintenance unnecessary.
Confident U-Turns and Parking Maneuvers
Improved lane selection, smooth driving through tight parking spaces, and safe turning maneuvers demonstrate the leap over FSD V13.2.9.
Safe Night Driving
Initial testers report consistently calm, precise behavior even in darkness.
Passenger Comfort & Support
Two new touch buttons in the back: Call Support connects live with Tesla's control center, Pull Over allows the vehicle to stop at the next safe spot – including a confirmation popup.

What does this mean for European drivers?
Tesla aims to gradually integrate the new features into upcoming FSD updates. Once the functions are stable in North America and regulatory hurdles are overcome, HW3 and HW4 drivers in Europe can also benefit from better emergency recognition, smoother maneuvers, and camera cleaning. An EU-wide Robotaxi launch is not expected soon, but every improvement in Austin accelerates the path to fully autonomous driving here as well.

Conclusion
With the Robotaxi tests, Tesla provides a practical look at the FSD future: more safety, fewer interventions, and new comfort features. For German owners, this means: Be patient – the most exciting advancements will soon roll into your vehicle as a software update.
