As a Tesla owner, for me Autopilot refers to highway / freeway driver assistance and Full Self Driving ( Supervised ) is for local streets. The only thing FSD provided previously was auto lane changing.

What the hell is with their naming? Self Driving sounds like an absolute and then they add the Full specifier to really drive it home but also add (supervised) meaning you must supervise the super duper full self driving.

>Even the brand name “Autopilot” is misleading, NHTSA said, conjuring up the idea that drivers are not in control.

Ironic how the Verge forms a union of Autopilot and FSD crashes in their headline to further convolute the major differences. As much as we blame Elon for naming Full Self Driving, I also think the media is responsible for tacking all Tesla modes together to get clicks.
