Tesla has added a new mode called Mad Max to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, designed to make the car’s behavior feel more human and more dynamic. The feature arrives with FSD 14.1.2 and is aimed at those who value quick, confident progress through heavy traffic.
Mad Max enables more assertive lane changes, prioritizes the fastest-moving lanes, and allows speeds of up to 85 miles per hour (137 km/h) on highways. Even so, the autopilot stays within legal limits: it avoids risky maneuvers and comes to a full stop at stop signs, as it should.
According to Tesla engineers, the mode is intended for situations when a driver is running late for a flight or hurrying to pick up a child from school. The AI models are trained to emulate an experienced driver—decisive yet safe—so the car keeps its momentum without needless hesitation.
The update also sharpens navigation in tight spaces, improves precision in stop-and-go traffic, and makes city trips noticeably smoother. The company notes that the next release, FSD 14.2, will add automatic parking and the ability to summon the car directly to a store—bringing Tesla a step closer to a robotaxi-like experience.
