This enhancement aims to improve user experience by enabling requests such as parking preferences. While FSD is recognized for its semi-autonomous capabilities, it still requires driver oversight and has faced challenges with navigation and lane management. Continuous software updates are made to refine its performance and address user feedback. Tesla Full Self-Driving is set to get an awesome new feature in the near future, CEO Elon Musk confirmed on X. Full Self-Driving is the company’s semi-autonomous driving program, which is among the best available to the general public. It still relies on the driver to ultimately remain in control and pay attention, but it truly does make traveling less stressful and easier. However, Tesla still continuously refines the software through Over-the-Air updates, which are meant to resolve shortcomings in the performance of the FSD suite. Generally, Tesla does a great job of this, but some updates are definitely regressions, at least with some of the features. > Tesla Cybertruck owner credits FSD for saving life after freeway medical emergency Tesla and Musk are always trying to improve the suite’s performance by fixing features that are presently available, but they also try to add new things that would be beneficial to owners. One of those things, which is coming soon, is giving the driver the ability to prompt FSD with voice demands. For example, asking the car to park close to the front door of your destination, or further away in an empty portion of the parking lot, would be an extremely beneficial feature. Adjusting navigation is possible through Grok integration, but it is not always effective. Musk confirmed that voice prompts for FSD would be possible: > Coming > > — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 21, 2026 Tesla Full Self-Driving is a really great thing, but it definitely has its shortcomings. Navigation is among the biggest complaints that owners have, and it is easily my biggest frustration with using it. Some of the routes it chooses to take are truly mind-boggling. Another thing it has had issues with is being situated in the correct lane at confusing intersections or even managing to properly navigate through local traffic signs. For example, in Pennsylvania, there are a lot of stop signs with “Except Right Turn” signs directly under. This gives those turning right at a stop sign the opportunity to travel through it. FSD has had issues with this on several occasions. Parking preferences would be highly beneficial and something that could be resolved with this voice prompt program. Grocery stores are full of carts not taken back by customers, and many people choose to park far away. Advising FSD of this preference would be a great advantage to owners.
