Part 2/12:
One test driver praised Mad Max Mode for being more assertive and safer than most human drivers when merging into dense traffic, highlighting its superior lane-changing capabilities and traffic responsiveness. Tesla emphasizes that Mad Max Mode is optionally selectable; it will not aggressively cut off other vehicles or make dangerous decisions, maintaining an emphasis on safety.
Tesla seems confident in the safety profile of this update, implying that version 14 is nearing a wide release that could eventually enable unsupervised robo-taxi operations—a milestone anticipated possibly in 2026.
