Is True FSD Really Just Around the Corner? A Deep Dive into FSD 13.2.8 and the Elusive Banish Feature
A recent video showcasing FSD 13.2.8 in a 2026 Model Y (Juniper) has ignited a debate about the true capabilities of Tesla's autonomous driving system. While the video demonstrates impressive advancements in features like Hurry Mode and complex turn negotiation, the absence of the anticipated Banish feature raises questions about the timeline for achieving full autonomy.
The video highlights the seamlessness of Hurry Mode, the FSD system's intriguing lane change preferences, and the increased confidence in navigating intricate turns. However, the manual takeover required for parking, particularly the lack of the Banish feature, leaves us wondering just how close Tesla is to delivering on its promise of true FSD.
The discussion surrounding Banish, the autonomous parking feature that would allow a Tesla to park itself without driver intervention, underscores a crucial point. When will a car be able to drop off its owner and reliably return without incident? Will this be the defining moment for true FSD adoption, convincing even the most skeptical drivers? Or will another automaker, perhaps a competitor from China, beat Tesla to this milestone?
This leads to a broader question. What specific features or capabilities are essential for you to consider a vehicle truly fully self-driving? Is it the flawless execution of everyday driving scenarios, the ability to handle unexpected situations, or perhaps the successful implementation of advanced features like Banish?
Let's discuss. What will be the ultimate benchmark for true FSD, and which automaker will be the first to cross the finish line? Share your thoughts and predictions below.
