There is no such thing as "self driving". It's literally just a blatant marketing lie. Tesla has:

  • "Autopilot" - comes as standard on all vehicles, most other OEMs refer to this as "advanced cruise control" as all it does it maintain speed and keep you in your lane.
  • "Advanced Autopilot" - adds things like automatic lane changes, summon)
  • "Full Self Driving" - more commonly referred to as "FSD", the most advanced option with all available features.

Prices for these vary but the latter 2 are both several thousand dollars.
