In a significant shift for its vehicle offerings, Tesla has announced the discontinuation of its Autopilot driving assistance system for all new Model Y and Model 3 cars in the US and Canada. This move is part of the company's strategy to promote its more advanced Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, and the document provides a justification for the fact that this transition aims to enhance safety and driving experience for users.
Tesla Phases Out Autopilot
Tesla's decision to phase out Autopilot comes as the company aims to streamline its technology offerings and enhance user experience. The new vehicles will now be equipped with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control as a standard feature, providing drivers with essential assistance on the road.
Introduction of Subscription Model
Additionally, Tesla plans to introduce a subscription model for its Full Self-Driving technology, allowing customers to access advanced features without the need for a hefty upfront payment. This change reflects Tesla's commitment to making its cutting-edge technology more accessible to a broader audience while also positioning itself for future advancements in autonomous driving.
Following Tesla's recent decision to discontinue Autopilot for new Model Y and Model 3 cars, the company has also revived the Dojo 3 project, which aims to enhance its AI capabilities. For more details, see the full story here.
