Tesla is discontinuing its Autopilot feature and replacing it with a subscription-based Full Self-Driving (FSD) service. Starting February 14, buyers will only have the option to pay $99 per month for FSD, which Elon Musk suggests will increase in price as features improve. This move aims to generate recurring revenue for Tesla amid falling profit margins and declining sales.

A judge ruled that Tesla's use of "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" is misleading, suggesting the cars can drive themselves. The California DMV has mandated a name change to avoid a sales ban in the state. Tesla has already renamed "Full Self-Driving Capability" to "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" but still needs to address the Autopilot branding.

Tesla is making initial moves to introduce its robotaxi service in New York City by posting a job for data collectors to operate its vehicles in the city. The role involves collecting audio and video data to assist in training the Autopilot software, although Tesla has not yet applied for testing permits in the city.
