Tesla discontinued Autopilot on Thursday, its basic driver-assistance system, in Canada and the United States as the electric-vehicle maker moves to push customers toward a more advanced version of the technology branded as Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

The move follows the company’s statement last week that it would stop offering Full Self-Driving as a one-time US$8,000 purchase starting February 14, meaning customers will only be able to access the software through a monthly subscription priced at US$99.
