Tesla FSD v14.3.7 Gets Pulled Over At MSP Airport!

The driver's overall assessment is that the latest FSD build is a mixed bag: navigation and route planning to the airport are greatly improved, and the system impressively handled an edge case by automatically pulling over when approached by a police car. However, the software remains overly skittish around pedestrians, hesitates at stop lines instead of asserting right-of-way, and gets confused after a driver accelerator override. The most persistent criticism is its destination handling, as FSD often ignores the dropped pin and parks a quarter-mile away, a notable regression from older builds. The trip was otherwise "pretty smooth," with the driver also learning a practical lesson about putting registration stickers on immediately.

• ▶ 0:48 FSD's navigation route planning to the airport drop-off is greatly improved compared to the previous version, reaching the destination instead of stopping half a mile away or at a parking ramp.

• ▶ 2:35 The car is excessively skittish around pedestrians, braking even when people are clearly waiting to cross behind it, which risks being rear-ended by following traffic.

• ▶ 4:07 At stop lines, FSD needs to signal intent like a human by creeping forward gradually when it has right of way, rather than hesitating and creating standoffs.

• ▶ 6:31 FSD automatically signaled and pulled the car over when the police officer activated their lights, which the driver later assessed as the correct and impressive behavior for this edge case.

• ▶ 6:41 Driver override caused confusion: after the driver pressed the accelerator, FSD interpreted it as an override and tried to merge back into traffic, forcing the driver to cut off that attempt and stop manually.

• ▶ 7:28 The stop was caused by missing registration stickers on the license plate—even though registration had been paid—and the driver's lesson learned was to put the stickers on the car immediately.

• ▶ 8:40 After the police stop, FSD re-engages from the shoulder and merges back into traffic smoothly.

• ▶ 9:02 The driver notes a prior “version 14 light” build ignored the drop pin and waypoints, stopping a quarter mile short; he plans to retest later in the week.

• ▶ 10:18 He recommends using departures instead of arrivals because the underground arrivals area has no GPS and map pins are hard to set—the car then pulls over correctly at the Delta counter.

• ▶ 12:28 FSD handles the favorite four-way stop intersection with no problems, despite expected side traffic.
• ▶ 14:27 The trip is “pretty smooth” overall, with only one (possibly two) instances where FSD unnecessarily braked in Cleveland.
• ▶ 14:46 A recurring issue: when approaching home, FSD sometimes wants to park on the street side instead of by the detached garage, even with the pin dropped at the garage.
• ▶ 15:06 FSD rarely follows the exact dropped pin and often ignores it, navigating to a "close enough" nearby spot instead.
• ▶ 15:19 This is a regression from older FSD releases, which made a best effort to get within ~100 feet of the pin.
• ▶ 15:30 Current builds are much worse, sometimes parking a quarter mile away, and the narrator concludes the parking logic "is just not very good" in these builds.

• ▶ 0:00 Initial FSD Driving and Stop-Line Behavior (0:00 - 4:51) - Trip purpose, navigation comparison, and early FSD behavior around crosswalks, pedestrians, and stop lines.
• ▶ 4:51 Police Traffic Stop with FSD (4:51 - 8:37) - FSD pulls over for police; the stop was due to missing registration stickers.
• ▶ 8:37 Airport Run and Return (8:37 - 11:58) - Resumes FSD to the airport, drops off at arrivals, and navigates out through airport construction.
• ▶ 11:58 Return Drive and Trip Observations (11:58 - 15:09) - Features a favorite four-way stop, a near miss, a crosswalk slowdown, and final trip observations.
• ▶ 15:09 Parking Logic and Wrap-Up (15:09 - 15:44) - FSD ignores the destination for parking and the video wraps up.
