Tesla has scrapped Autopilot in its new cars in US and Canada

EV brand Tesla has bidden farewell to a classic feature that many drivers know and love – Autopilot.

The feature has long been included in the purchase price, but now that’s set to be a thing of the past.

The move is about bringing people to Tesla’s subscription service for Full Self Driving.

It’s said to affect the US and Canada, but like everything in life, good things come to those who wait.

Tesla Autopilot: This is what you need to know

Tesla is well known for providing handy features as well as full EV capabilities, and one of those standouts used to be Autopilot.

It’s no secret that the world is moving towards a time where vehicles and technology are taking over basic commands to make humans’ lives easier, and with Autopilot, this fantasy has become EV owners’ new reality.

The clever feature that once came as standard included two main options.

This consisted of Autosteer, which enabled the vehicles to keep central in the midst of lane driving, and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC), which allowed the EV to keep to the speed of the vehicle directly in front.

But that’s all about to change, as a new move by the company means that Autosteer will come as a subscription service, at a substantial cost, according to Electrek.

It’s bye-bye Autopilot

Now, according to reports, Tesla has also cancelled Autopilot, but it’s not all as it seems.

You see, the move will affect drivers in the regions of the US and Canada, with Tesla enthusiasts reporting that it comes into play when ordering a Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y.

The news was seemingly confirmed on X by the owner of the car brand, as well as more details being revealed.

It’s not all bad news, though, as even though the cost of supervised Full Self-Driving will increase, its ability will increase, and it’s all in a bid for the subscriptions to increase.

I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve.

The massive value jump is when you can be on your phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD). https://t.co/YDKhXN3aaG

Stay tuned for more FSD news as Tesla releases it, as we could see a world where unsupervised FSD comes into play.
