The Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.1.5 by Tesla is spreading rapidly in the EV community, and a recent video showcasing Cybertruck’s actions in Mad Max mode left the audience in shock. In the clip that promptly went viral among Tesla enthusiasts, one can see a sequence of strikingly human-like moves, smooth, deliberate, and socially conscious driving that borders on sentience.
The video shows the Cybertruck exhibiting what many would call close to human intuition in the confused traffic: cutting through the traffic, halting at green lights without jerks, and even clearing the roads to allow other cars to move into turn lanes. It is an indication of what the AI-based software at Tesla has been developing to be like a driver that not only knows the rules of the road but also knows the tempo of the traffic in the real world.
Mad Max Mode: Controlled Aggression Meets Intelligent Adaptation
The “Mad Max” mode in Tesla’s FSD, always intended to mimic a more aggressive way to drive, has always been prescribed to follow the same principle: to be aggressive and fluid to be able to keep up with the high-speed traffic. However, version 14.1.5 appears to bring that notion to a new stage.
In the presented video, the Cybertruck proves itself to be an assured driver, easily maneuvers around heavy traffic, and responds with situational awareness that previously was not achievable by autonomous systems. The FSD is not just obedient to pre-programmed logic, but functions dynamically and consciously to the situation, slows down to enable a merge, but is decisive enough to avoid indecisiveness or confusion.
This behavior has been observed to resemble how skilled human drivers interpret subtle signals of the vehicles around them – a form of social intelligence that has proven one of the most difficult in autonomous driving.
Cybertruck FSD V14.1.5 Mad Max moves through traffic, then moves over at stop light to make space to let people get into turn lane.
Full video is posted, several good clips but this is one of my favorite moments.
It's remarkable. https://t.co/DSRbXJYGcm pic.twitter.com/xfUu23XpNY

Smooth Precision and Real-Time Adaptability
An additional highlight of the video is how the Cybertruck comes to a halt majestically at a traffic light, placing itself in a strategic location, creating room to allow vehicles to join a turn lane. It is a micro-adjustment that even the most experienced drivers do not always carry out in a conscious manner, but the Cybertruck executes it perfectly.
This kind of accuracy is a sign that Tesla’s neural networks are not only becoming more adept at object detection, it also that neural networks are becoming more skilled when it comes to anticipating the intentions of other road users. The outcome is a non-reactive AI but a preemptive one.
The development of this predictive model is a significant progressive move toward Tesla Autopilot. The fact that the Cybertruck showed not only human-like driving behaviors but also observed a high level of safety limits may indicate that the FSD system of Tesla has matured enough to warrant the existence of such expectations by a few people just a year ago.
