1 week agoThis Ford recall involves a feature you probably rely on every day
Ford recalls 254,640 vehicles due to potential rearview camera image issues affecting advanced driver assistance features.
Tesla has sold access to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software suite - which still does not make a car completely autonomous, and requires human supervision - at various price points over the years. The up-front price peaked at $15,000 in 2022, though more recently the company has been charging customers $8,000. Tesla started offering access to the software via a $199-per-month subscription in 2021, and it dropped that price to just $99-per-month in 2024.
In practice, this means a driver navigating approved, mapped highways will be able to do basically anything they want behind the wheel. Snack, answer emails, catch up with their shows, turn around to yell at the kids in the back. Even sleep, maybe-provided that they wake up by the time they've reached the exit ramp. (If they don't, the car will find a safe place to pull over, GM says.)
