They literally call it "full self driving". I had a Model 3 with FSD last year, and it's really pretty pointless beyond a party trick. The actually useful stuff (lane-keeping and dynamic cruise control) is available in the base autopilot option, and is not much different from features in other high end cars. The FSD features are so unreliable as to be totally useless. Lane-changing was often scary, with it not spotting vehicles in the blind spot more than once. It somehow managed to miss exits on navigate on autopilot, and in any case the feature is available in so few places it's barely worth using unless you're only driving on highways. They also don't make it clear that advanced summon is basically useless outside the US, because it only works when you're within 10 meters of the car. When I had to return that car when I changed jobs, I immediately ordered a new Model 3, because it's a great car and I really like driving it, but I didn't get the FSD option because it's dangerous, useless, and a waste of money. I've not missed it once. Now the only issue is that whenever I get in the car and I'm reminded of Elon Musk's antics, which makes me cringe a little, but that's another story.
