It has a section for the new Stop at Stop Light/Sign feature, so I don't think it's out of date. Just pulled it directly from Tesla's site...

Bro you know no one reads the manual
I think this is a bit muddled. "Autopilot" is an umbrella term to refer to a package of several car features, including TACC and autosteer. "FSD" (full self-driving) is also a package that adds additional features to Autopilot, including NOA and auto park. So I'm not sure what you mean when you say autosteer did not do something but autopilot did.
Please don't drive anywhere near me then. Seriously, not reading a manual for your phone is fine, but not reading up on how a brand-new, beta system to self-steer a 4000lb car at high speeds works is borderline irresponsible. People have been killed for thinking the car can do more than it was designed to do.

The problem is you can read the manual today and it can be updated tomorrow. And unless you receive notification that there was an update to the manual how would you know?

There is a version number on the front page of the manual. Current version is 2020.4. Better to read what is available today vs. not reading it at all. At least you'll have a base understanding of the function and features vs just figuring it out by trial and error. Check the manual link once a month and check to see if the version changes. Mostly, changes revolve around adding new features and functions, so most of the previous stuff should remain unchanged, unless something was previously inaccurate. They don't provide a change log, so you'll have to scan to try to find new info.

Ive read it, thank you. You agreed me in a very internet sort of way. They should tell us when something gets changed in the manual. No one has time to scan an owners manual to guess what changed. How often should I be doing this scanning by the way?

They kinda do.
Things only really change for 2 reasons:
1) Hardware updates on newer cars. So you wouldn't care since your car doesn't have it.
2) Software updates- and they do tell you what changed in the release notes each time and then (if relevant) also update the owners manual for whatever the added thing is. If the explanation of a feature is very long (I think there's been 1 or 2 such) then those release notes specifically tell you to check the current manual for more details on it.

yes agree mostly. What I meant was when I click the column once for auto steer, I'm seeing a different effect than if I double-click and not sure why. I've made that same route several times trying both.

then I am just weird. I always read manuals, so guess I am no one
I’m pretty sure once is only radar controlled cruise control...

Once is TACC. No steering involved.
Twice is AP (which is TACC plus Autosteer at least, potentially stuff like Nav-on-AP if you have it and it's enabled and you're under the right conditions for it to be on)

I did an educational personality test as part of one of my technical skills courses, One question was "if you buy something new, how likely are you to read the manual?"
They didn't have an option for "I read the full manual for every single thing I'm considering buying to help me decide what to buy...."
I see a number of comments telling me I should have had my hands on the wheel - I did. When the car decided to deviate from the easy left hand turn it was doing to suddenly over steer into the bend I was able to grab it, but the car was only ~1ft away from the curb when turning and with the sudden sharp turn I was unable to react before it clipped the curb - it basically tried to shave around 2-3ft off the apex and would have been on the path if I had not grabbed it.
The road is an A-class road in the UK and has clear white lines down the middle and the corner is ~20 -30 degrees.
