It was autopilot, not FSD. It’s adaptive cruise control. Originally also lane keeping but Tesla was forced to remove that

    The article says the car swerved into the garage, which means the car took control of the steering wheel and turned it off the road into the house.

    Tesla says the cars should be able to drive straight on the road without driver input. This car took control and drove it into a wall.

    That is Tesla's fault, not the driver. Heck, based on the information here, even if the driver was 100% paying attention, they might not have had the reaction time to stop the car.

    Was literally in a self drive Tesla a couple of days ago. 2023 model. Self drove 170 miles door to door except final parking. So I'm not sure what you mean when you say they removed it.

    The other gimmicky Tesla stuff aside, the self drive was freaking awesome.

    For autopilot they recently removed lane keeping in response to a lawsuit. Although I don’t know if that’s location-specific

    That’s different from full self-driving

    They no longer sell AP in areas that offer FSD Supervised, yes in part likely because of the lawsuit, but if you have AP lane keeping was not removed, and you can still get it anywhere FSD Supervised isn't approved and sold today.

    I think it's also so Elon can pump his FSD subscription numbers to get his performance goal of so many subscriptions.

    The current FSD subscription price is much better than the purchase price used to be and they are much closer to being able to deliver.

    I’m getting tempted. I’ll probably let a million cyberCab users do a more complete validation but it’s definitely getting close

    There's no way they'll keep it at that price once it works, and since it can't be bought now, everyone who didn't purchased it is gonna be SOL. It's going to be the only option moving forward for any kind of lane keeping.

    Edit: And by works I mean when they can run a large Cybercab fleet across the country autonomously like Waymo.
