Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee (arstechnica.com)

Now, if you want your new Tesla to steer itself—while you pay attention to the road—you will have to pay for FSD. Until the middle of February, that can be done for a one-time fee of $8,000. But starting on February 14, that option goes away, too, and the sole choice will be a $99/month FSD subscription. But probably not for very long. Last night, Musk revealed on his social media platform that “the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve.

I don't own a Tesla, but a $99 monthly subscription feels like quite a hefty price tag.

According to a Reuters report on this topic, this change affects only Canada and the US.

My 2021 MG5 (itself a 2019 Roewe EI5) had lane centring (pro pilot) as standard. A 2026 Tesla can't match it for standard ADAS tech?! Unbelievable.

Surely they will not be able to get 5 stars from Euro NCAP now?
