While many electric cars these days offer advanced driver assistance technology, most of them boil down to a few different technologies that work together, like lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. In general, they work quite well. Together, they can essentially allow a car to drive itself on the road under the right conditions. But companies are also working on the next generation of self-driving cars, and no company has been more public about it than Tesla, which offers its fully autonomous technology.
But while Tesla Full Self-Driving is available to customers, it’s far from free. At the time of writing, Tesla was offering Full Self-Driving for a one-time payment of $15,000 or as a $200 monthly subscription. Neither of these are cheap, and as such, you may be wondering whether or not they’re worth it.
Consensus? It’s probably not worth it to you, but some would still want to buy it.
What is Tesla’s fully autonomous driving?

Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) is an advanced driver assistance system that uses a combination of hardware and software to enable the vehicle to navigate autonomously in various traffic situations. The system uses a series of cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radar and computers to interpret the surrounding environment and make real-time decisions to control the vehicle’s acceleration, braking and steering.
There are a few things that set this technology apart from Tesla’s other autonomous driving modes. The cheapest is Tesla’s Autopilot, which is basically adaptive cruise control combined with lane keeping assist, features that many other cars have. Next up is the enhanced autopilot, which includes features like auto lane change, auto park, and public address, which allows the driver to call the car to its location in the parking lot. These are much more advanced features.
Fully autonomous driving, however, goes a step further. FSD allows the car to recognize stop signs and traffic lights, and will soon allow the car to navigate city streets on its own.
It is important to note that drivers must still be in control of the car at all times, even when using these modes. Current regulations mean that the driver is responsible for the behavior of the car, whether it is on autopilot, FSD or any other mode.
Of course, this makes the name “Full Self-Driving” a bit misleading. Tesla has been criticized for calling the technology Full Self-Driving, when in fact the technology cannot fully control the car yet. It will likely be some time before the technology can handle all driving modes, and it will be some time before the law allows drivers to relinquish control of the car entirely.
Is Tesla’s fully autonomous driving worth it?
Is Tesla’s fully autonomous driving worth it? Well, it’s complicated. The fact is that Full Self-Driving is still in beta, which means that even though Tesla is charging users to use it, it’s still being developed and refined and will make mistakes. That means it’s more experimental than something you’ll be able to take full advantage of to be more productive or save time.
In other words, most people should avoid spending money on Tesla Full Self-Driving right now. But it could still be useful for some controllers. If you’re really interested in trying out the latest and greatest in self-driving technology, have some (or a lot) of money on your hands, and don’t mind the fact that the technology isn’t fully developed yet, then self-driving might be worth considering, just for the fun of it. But if you can save some money, consider continuing to drive your Tesla yourself.
