Tesla enhances safety through an over-the-air update, focusing on optimizing airbag deployment [Version 2025.32.3]

Tesla has rolled out a new software update, version 2025.32.3, for its Model 3 and Y vehicles globally. The update introduces a significant improvement to the airbag systems in these vehicles, known as the Frontal Airbag System Enhancement.

The update demonstrates Tesla's continued efforts to refine vehicle safety through software innovation. The airbag system now incorporates real-time visual analysis in addition to traditional sensors, allowing airbags to deploy earlier and adapt more effectively to a frontal impact.

Initially, it was believed that the airbag enhancement would only be available to Model Y vehicles. However, on Tuesday, Model 3 vehicles also began receiving the feature.

The airbag enhancement is designed to reduce the milliseconds between collision detection and protective action. In high-speed accidents, the reduced milliseconds can be significant in preventing serious harm. The faster protective action is an example of Tesla's use of vision-based technology to enhance vehicle safety.

The update builds on Tesla's existing crash protection framework by integrating data from Tesla Vision. The source of the information about the update was shared by Not A Tesla App.

The airbag system improvement is an important step in Tesla's commitment to vehicle safety. The company has been at the forefront of innovation in the automotive industry, and this update is just one more example of its dedication to refining safety features through software.

The software update started rolling out to vehicles on Monday, September 9, 2025. Tesla conducted the global release of the 2025.32.3 software update with the frontal airbag system improvement on this date.

With this update, Tesla continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the automotive industry, demonstrating its commitment to safety and innovation.
