According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Version 14 will be tested in up to a foot of snow, providing valuable real-world data on AI-powered autonomous vehicle performance under extreme winter conditions (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter, Dec 1, 2025). This type of on-road testing is crucial for improving computer vision algorithms and sensor fusion in challenging weather, directly impacting the safety and reliability of self-driving cars. The outcomes could accelerate FSD deployment in colder regions and unlock new business opportunities for AI-powered mobility solutions in adverse climates.
