A Tesla vehicle running Full Self-Driving software avoided a human-sized dummy thrown into its path at 45 mph during a test conducted on Thursday. The footage was shared by Tesla enthusiasts and later posted by the company’s official account.
The test involved FSD version 14.3.3 on a tree-lined street. A dummy was tossed directly into the vehicle’s path from the side of the road. The car braked hard and swerved sharply to miss the obstacle completely.
Tesla described the software’s performance as demonstrating “superhuman reaction time.” The clip was recorded by enthusiast AI DRIVR and tester David Moss, who posted it on June 11, 2026.
Online reactions were mixed. Supporters highlighted the system’s ability to handle sudden hazards. Critics noted that FSD remains a supervised feature requiring driver attention.
The demonstration aligns with Tesla’s recent efforts to showcase FSD safety data from early European deployments, where vehicles using the system recorded fewer collisions than those driven manually.
