Essentially it’s just cruise control + collision avoidance (although the collision avoidance bit doesn’t really work) + lane control.
If the lane goes around the corner then the car will go around the corner without human input but it won’t turn off the road to follow navigational directions. FSD is about 80% of the way there, but the final 20% is really the bit that matters and is also the hardest.
A better acronym would be SAD = Slightly Automated Driving
