George Hotz cancels his Tesla Autopilot-like ‘comma one’

While driving, you have to do a double-pull on the lever to activate the autopilot, a single pull just activates the basic cruise control. So you can still buy one and just never activate it.

Alternatively, earlier editions of Model S shipped without autopilot, which was then sold as an aftermarket upgrade as late as this spring (when autopilot was an optional $2,500 package on a new Model S).

Fair enough re: the older Teslas. As to the new ones, even if I never activate autopilot I'm still driving around in a massive autopilot data collection engine for Tesla Corp, which bugs me.
