    They’ve also completely stop using the self-driving after some scary swerves

    A reminder here since people get the two confused all the time, and don’t understand just how little Autopilot does. Full Self Driving and Autopilot are and always have been different things. They do not use the same software stack. Autopilot hasnt really been updated since FSD started being tested outside Tesla employees, so 5+ years now. 95%+ of Tesla vehicles do not have FSD, but nearly all of them have Autopilot.

    Autopilot is just Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Automatic Lane Keeping. AP is not smart, and never has been, it does not make driving decisions, it just tries to keep you in the lines and a minimum distance from cars in front of you at a set speed. There are a shit ton of vehicles on the road that do this now, spanning all the way from luxury brands down to a plain old Honda, and they have for years.

      Not to take away from your clarification, but the Tesla lane assist (not fsd) is WAY different from standard lane assist. It really does try to self drive. I have a 2024 Honda with LKAS and it makes minor corrections that keep you in the lane. Teslas will do strong corrections that can be dangerous, I’ve been in plenty and experienced it
