Tesla currently offers a pair of so-called “level 2” partially automated driver assist systems. Autopilot is the older of these, combining Tesla’s adaptive cruise control (Tesla calls this TACC) and lane-keeping assist (Tesla calls this Autosteer).

Here's what's happening: If you buy a new Tesla car in the U.S., you will no longer receive the Basic Autopilot set of features, which was previously included with every Tesla. Instead, you're getting Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, which is a feature that maintains set driving speed and slows down when there's a slower vehicle in front of you.

The company is also currently facing a 30-day suspension of its manufacturing and dealer licenses in California for deceptive marketing about Autopilot's capabilities.

Tesla is cutting standard Autopilot and pushing customers toward a monthly FSD subscription

Tesla owners in the US and Canada now must pay $99/month for highway lane-assist features once included for free.

By Abhirup Roy and Akash Sriram Jan 23 (Reuters) - Tesla on Thursday stopped including some driver-assistance features with new vehicles sold in the U.S. and Canada, requiring customers who want self-steering and similar technology to pay for a broader $99 monthly subscription.

Tesla's lane centering feature, Autosteer, has officially been removed from the Model 3 and Model Y's vehicle configurator.
