Tesla Drops Self-Driving Option Buyers Have Been Unable to Use

The self-driving capability that Tesla Inc. customers have been able to pay for but not activate for two years is going on hiatus.

The electric-car maker has dropped from its online design studios the option to pay thousands of dollars more for what it called full self-driving, a higher-level feature for its Autopilot system. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk tweeted late Thursday that the feature “was causing too much confusion.”
