But now we have clarity. The order page<\/a> for the new Tesla Model 3 doesn’t feature the much-hyped “Full Self-Driving Capability”<\/a> that promised customers “all you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go.” CEO Elon Musk tweeted<\/a> that the feature caused “too much confusion.”<\/p> Removing the feature will certainly sting for potential Tesla buyers. Especially in light of the $7,500 tax credit that Tesla no longer guarantees after October 15<\/a>.<\/p> The government is quite open to self-driving cars,<\/a> at least in theory. The real problem: the feature doesn’t exist yet, as Ars Technica <\/em>points out<\/a>.<\/p> So when will Teslas really <\/em>be able to drive themselves? That’s very hard to predict. For instance, Tesla’s newly introduced “Mad Max mode”<\/a> can even irritate other human drivers just as effectively as any aggressive driver in an Audi.<\/p> For now, customers will have to settle for “Enhanced Autopilot,” which includes lane assist and changing, intelligent blind spot monitoring, self-parking, and even navigating complex highway intersections.<\/p> People’s lives are at stake here. It’s a good thing Elon Musk decided to take things slow, and no longer offer the feature — fully autonomous driving isn’t going to happen over night.<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> Tesla quietly drops “full self-driving” option as it adds $45,000 Model 3<\/a> [Ars Technica<\/i>]<\/p> More on Tesla’s autonomous car efforts: Tesla’s Autonomous Semi Truck Has Its First Official Mission<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p> Read more: Hands Up Can Tesla cars drive themselves?
