Autopilot is part of FSD really. Full Self-Driving is the overarching software suite including the ability to flip between highway and city streets functionality, but driving on highways is part of being fully self-driving

Autosteer on City Streets is what we need to separate from Autopilot, both are modules within FSD

Which stack was in use at the time of these accidents? The older AP code, or the new FSD Beta code?

That’s only with the single stack.

Most people still associate FSD with urban driving.

In any case - there is zero reason to state the title wrong (basically a clickbait).

All of the specific accidents detailed by the article occurred before FSD beta was available to consumers, so they would all have been using the legacy AP code.
