Autopilot has never been "Full Self Driving". FSD is an additional $15,000 package on top of the car. Autopilot is the free system providing lane keeping with adaptive cruise, same as "Pro Pilot Assist" or "Honda Sensing" or any of the other packages from other car companies. The only difference is whenever someone gets in an accident using any of those technologies we never get headlines about it.
