Tesla Introduces Subscription for Autopilot Feature
Tesla launches access to FSD driving assistance as part of a subscription. From now on, any owner of a technically compliant car from Elon Musk can test the feature.
- Tesla's full autopilot (FSD) as part of subscription;
- Teslas are still not fully autonomous cars, however - keep that in mind.
FSD, or Full Self Driving, is a driving assistance feature present in Tesla cars. Until now, it was available when we bought the car as an option with a $10k extra charge. However, Elon Musk has decided to offer it as part of a subscription. This means that even those who bought a vehicle without it can now acquire or just test the feature.
It's not cheap, though - FSD package for Tesla's basic autopilot costs $199 per month. Interested parties who bought the car with an earlier (discontinued) version of Enhanced Autopilot will pay $99 per month to upgrade to FSD. It is important that the car meets the technical requirements - computer version 3.0 (HW3) and current Basic or Enhanced Autopilot. But even if the Tesla you own does not meet these conditions, its owner can still enjoy FSD. As long as he buys a hardware upgrade for $1500.
The full version of autopilot can automatically follow the navigation directions to the destination, change lanes and respond to street lights and signs. However, it is still not a fully autonomous system, which Tesla makes clear - the presence and supervision of the driver is required. They must keep their hands on the wheel (or at least near it) to be able to react quickly in case of autopilot error.
