Tesla Ditches Autopilot for Subscription-Only FSD: A Bold Move for the Future
Tesla has officially discontinued Autopilot as a standard feature on its vehicles, shifting to a subscription-only model for Full Self-Driving (FSD) in the U.S. and Canada. As the company faces financial pressures, it aims to drive new revenue through FSD subscriptions, priced at $99 monthly or $999 annually, with expected price hikes as the system evolves. Existing owners retain their Autopilot features, while new buyers must commit to FSD for advanced driving aids. With this change, Tesla is both pushing the envelope on self-driving tech and courting controversy among consumers.
