Tesla Full Self-Driving can now take over manual driving to avoid a collision

This update aims to prevent imminent collisions by engaging steering assistance beyond standard braking capabilities.
Tesla is rolling out a new version of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software that can take control of your car to avoid a crash, even when you’re driving manually.
The automaker announced the feature, part of FSD Supervised v14.3.9, in a post from its AI team early Friday.
