You are on Hacker News, you don't think we know what FSD is?

The article only mentions Autopilot, but half the comments here are talking about FSD.

Makes sense

It's relevant because it arguably affects the driver's beliefs and behaviour, whether they are using FSD or just Autopilot

It's a separate upgrade but it's reasonable to assume the marketing may affect drivers using only Autopilot

If HN commenters are confusing the two then this only strengthens that argument
