## Resource

In this special live-drive episode of The InEVitable, Ed Loh takes MotorTrend Technical Director Frank Markus on a real-world test of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Version 14.2.2.3 in a Model Y — while diving deep into Frank’s first-drive impressions of the highly anticipated Rivian R2. This episode kicks off a new MotorTrend series on semi-autonomous driving systems, comparing Tesla’s camera-only approach against upcoming competitors from Mercedes-Benz and Rivian. Topics covered include: Tesla FSD v14 real-world freeway and city performance Mad Max mode, lane changes, and aggressive California traffic Rivian R2 pricing, specs, suspension tech, and autonomy roadmap Level 2 vs Level 3 autonomy explained Vision-only vs radar/LiDAR debate Autonomy in harsh winter conditions The future of hands-free and eyes-off driving Does Tesla’s data flywheel give it an insurmountable lead? Is Rivian’s R2 the true Model Y competitor? And what happens when autonomy reaches Level 3? Watch (or listen) as the system handles freeways, city streets, four-way stops — and almost parks itself.
