i’m guessing autopilot was pulled because of lawsuits.

Full autonomy hasn't been done, at least not with FSD. It's getting closer, but it's not complete. I've seen it firsthand in my son's car with the latest hardware and software. It's very good, but FSD still has problems.

 

There is definitely some more work to be done before I sit in the backseat without a driver, although the mistakes I've seen haven't been dangerous, just annoying

 

My FSD subscription ended today and I had to revert to Autopilot. Not the same at all

 

best $99 i spend every month.

 

Right, it doesn't change lanes.

My biggest issue with it is when I drive on anything other than a highway. It limits max speed too much to be useful for me. There's one stretch where it limits me to 5 over. That may be due to its incorrect info on the actual speed limit of that road, though. FSD don't care!

 

If anything, FSD speeds too much and there's not exact way to make it slower besides the speed profiles. On hurry mode, seems to want to go 75-78mph on the freeway, which is way into ticket territory.

 

I'll tell you, last update made Mad Max mode very aggressive. You know those a-holes that constantly change lanes to get around other cars? And it likes to hang around 82 mph. I had to keep putting it in Hurry Mode to calm her down

 

For me it liked to speed. And unfortunately, it only recognizes a police car if the emergency lights are on. Talking to Grok, it's my fault if I get pulled over 😞

 

Personally I think FSD should just let you set a speed you want to maintain.

 

I agree, but only as an option. For the most part it just goes with the flow of traffic and is fine.

I'll say it again, they really need to fix the way it gets its speed limit on some roads.

 

Like for me on the highway I want do do a specific speed. Going with the flow is great on surface roads, but I always set my cruise to 80 on the highway and the idea that FSD wants to choose how fast I am going and I can't tell it "Hey, maintain 80" doesn't appeal to me.

Like Kyle was saying in his video I posted, thats why he prefers Autopilot on the highway and FSD on surface roads.

 

Yes agreed. I know it was like that a few updates ago.

Makes no sense to me why you can't set a specific speed.

When I had a Y on an overnight test drive a couple of weeks ago, I ended up having to change the mode (sloth, standard, hurry etc) if I wanted the car to go slower or faster.

Having said that, I still prefer FSD to autopilot. Autopilot is kinda "dumb" compared to FSD. All it does is slow down and speed up (to the max speed you set it to) according to what's in front. And when you signal, it changes lanes....

 

Honestly, on the highway thats what I want. Kyle said the same thing in the video I posted, thats actually what most people need and want. Until I can get my time back and work or read or watch a movie while its driving for me, i've got to sit there and look ahead anyways.

 

FSD has much more to it than just keeping a steady speed though. But you know this already. Ofcourse it's not perfect and you have to pay attention, but it has a much greater feature set.

Autopilot: Essential automated assistance — adaptive cruise + lane steering on highways. Best for straightforward, highway cruising.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised): Adds advanced maneuver support — intersections, city streets, complex navigation, automated parking, and enhanced summons. Still not fully autonomous and requires driver engagement.
