Tesla FSD (Supervised) clears the way for an ambulance at a red light: a Cybertruck crosses three lanes on its own

Stopped at a red light in the middle of five lanes, a Cybertruck on FSD (Supervised) spotted an ambulance behind it, signalled, crossed three lanes to the right and freed the lane. Then it rerouted by itself.

A new clip shows how well Tesla FSD (Supervised) handles unusual situations. A Cybertruck stopped at a traffic light spotted an ambulance coming from behind and made room for it by itself, with no input from the driver. The story was reported by "Not a Tesla App", and the original clips were posted on X by the owner, "@mrtimer2022".

What happened

The Cybertruck was waiting at a red light with FSD engaged, in a middle lane of a five-lane road. An ambulance with its lights on appeared behind it, but the intersection was mostly blocked by traffic. The system turned on the right indicator, crept forward carefully and crossed three lanes into an open gap, leaving a clear lane for the ambulance.

The ambulance never slowed down

According to the owner, the ambulance went through the intersection without slowing down. "This wasn't just a pull over while driving," he wrote, but a deliberate manoeuvre from a full stop to make room for an emergency vehicle. Clips from the external cameras show the truck at 0 mph with the system active, followed by the full manoeuvre.

Once the way was clear, the Cybertruck made a legal right turn from the far-right lane, merged onto the new road and updated its route in the navigation on its own. The owner also praised how the truck signalled early, so the ambulance crew knew what was coming. The post has passed 260,000 views.

For "Not a Tesla App", the moment shows how far FSD has come since its early versions. Tesla has also recently added Automatic Collision Evasion.

What it means for drivers

When every second counts, a car that spots an ambulance early and calmly makes room can genuinely help. The driver remains responsible and must supervise at all times. In Europe the system is now called Tesla Assisted Driving and is already approved in nine EU countries. Our guide to FSD (Supervised) in Europe and Romania explains where things stand.
