I'm a little confused about exactly what is meant by "autopilot." I know a lot of people misuse the term as another word for the fsd, but I'm still confused about exactly what it is or isn't.
I have a 2021 Model 3 without FSD. I thought autopilot was the system that activated with double tapping the right stalk, making the car steer itself within lane markers. However, as I read more, it seems like autopilot might be a combination of autosteer and TACC. Does this mean you can use TACC by itself, but not autosteer by itself? Or is autosteer the system activated by the double right stalk, and autopilot simply the package that includes the two abilities?
Then to add to confusion, there's the FSD version of autopilot that allows navigation and lane change, but I try to ignore that. It seems like if you have FSD, autopilot is pretty close to FSD, but I have no experience with any of those capabilities.
Anyway, I'm trying to make sure I understand the terms when I read about Teslas, so I'm hoping for some good explanations, and hopefully not more confusion.
