January 30, 2026, 12:50 PM EST. Tesla has discontinued Autopilot, its basic driver-assistance system, to boost uptake of its more capable Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, labeled Supervised. The move follows a 30-day suspension of Tesla's California manufacturing and dealer licenses after a judge found the company misled buyers about Autopilot and FSD capabilities. California's DMV stayed the ruling for 60 days to let Tesla comply by removing the Autopilot name. New cars now come standard with only Traffic Aware Cruise Control; current customers' impact is unclear. Separately, Tesla will stop charging an $8,000 upfront FSD fee from Feb 14, offering FSD via a $99 monthly subscription, with Musk signaling prices may rise as capabilities improve. Tesla also rolled out robotaxi Model Y in Austin without human safety personnel, using a more advanced driving stack under supervision.
