MCU2 + HW3 Stop Light Control (UK)

Hi, I recently learned that upgrading my AP2.0 and MCU1 tesla model x to MCU2 will also give it HW3

I am aware that having this upgrade means that the car CAN SEE traffic lights and stop signs

however if I DO NOT purchase the FULL SELF DRIVING package will it still stop at a red light? Or will it literally see the red light and go straight past it.
I would think that’s kind of stupid for a car to do if it was that smart in the first place so please can someone let me know.

thanks
 
Every new Tesla has the capability to stop at red lights and do everything else the FSD option currently offers, but you don’t get those features unless you pay for them. From what I recall, Autosteer without FSD will warn you if you’re going to run a red light, but won’t stop.

Your understanding is correct. It will see the lights but not stop for the unless you have paid for fsd.
