FSD is a fun toy in the US where you can get it on monthly subscription but buying it outright. ($16K CAD right now, down from $19.5K) is something only someone insane would do.

The vision only cars are crippled. The next generations are getting radars put back in because of all this regulatory and public backlash.

The basic autopilot however, is probably my favorite feature. My friend's Lexus also has traffic aware cruise control and lane keeping but its nowhere near as good. My commute to work was all autopilot today. Whenever I need to go to Banff or anywhere else, autopilot is also such a luxury.
