Tesla has officially removed lane-centering for Model 3 and Model Y trims in the U.S. It's a big nudge toward subscription Full Self-Driving.

Tesla has discontinued its driving assistance system, Autopilot, from all its new Model Y and Model 3 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada.

Jan 23 (Reuters) - Tesla on Thursday discontinued its basic driver-assistance system, Autopilot, in Canada and the U.S., in an attempt to push customers toward a more advanced version of the technology branded as Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

Here's what's happening: If you buy a new Tesla car in the U.S., you will no longer receive the Basic Autopilot set of features, which was previously included with every Tesla. Instead, you're getting Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, which is a feature that maintains set driving speed and slows down when there's a slower vehicle in front of you.

The company is also currently facing a 30-day suspension of its manufacturing and dealer licenses in California for deceptive marketing about Autopilot's capabilities.

Tesla has shifted its approach to driver assistance, quietly redefining what "standard" means on its best-selling cars.
