Tesla discontinues Autopilot in US and Canada

Investing.com -- Tesla on Thursday discontinued its basic driver-assistance system, Autopilot, in the United States and Canada.

The electric vehicle maker is pushing customers toward its more advanced technology branded as Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

This change comes after Tesla's announcement last week that it would stop offering Full Self-Driving as a one-time $8,000 purchase starting February 14. Following that date, customers will only be able to access the software through a monthly subscription priced at $99.
