Autopilot refers to a suite of advanced driver assistance
features that are intended to make driving safer and less
stressful. None of these features make Model Y fully
autonomous or replace you as the driver. Autopilot features
come standard with all new Tesla vehicles.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration,
options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may
not be equipped with the following features, or a feature may
not operate exactly as described.
Autopilot includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Maintains your speed and
an adjustable following distance from the vehicle in front
of you, if there is one (see
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
on page 102).
•
Autosteer: Maintains your speed and distance from a
leading vehicle while also intelligently keeping Model Y in
its lane (see Autosteer on page 102).
WARNING: Autopilot is a hands-on feature. Keep your
hands on the steering wheel at all times and be mindful
of road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road
users (such as pedestrians and cyclists). Always be
prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause damage, serious injury,
or death.
Full Self-Driving Capability includes additional features that
are designed to further reduce driver workload and make
common actions, such as changing lanes or parking, easier.
• Auto Lane Change: Moves Model Y into an adjacent lane
when you engage the turn signal and Autosteer is active
(see Auto Lane Change on page 103).
• Autopark: Parks Model Y, either parallel or
perpendicularly (see
Autopark on page 108).
• Dumb Summon Moves Model Y forward or backward,
even while you’re outside the vehicle. This is useful for
parking in tight parking spots (see Summon on page 110).
•
Actually Smart Summon Moves Model Y out of a parking
space and through more complex environments,
maneuvering around obstacles and other vehicles, to
meet you or go to a predetermined target (see Summon
on page 110).
WARNING: The features included with Full Self-Driving
Capability are hands-on features. Keep your hands on
the steering wheel at all times and be mindful of road
conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users
(such as pedestrians and cyclists). Pay attention to the
road at all times and always be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions
could cause damage, serious injury or death.
How It Works
Autopilot uses the cameras on Model Y, which monitor the
surrounding area and detect other vehicles, pedestrians,
road markings, and obstacles such as barriers and curbs.
There are cameras mounted on the front, rear, left, and right
sides of Model Y (see Cameras on page 19).
Model Y may also be equipped with a cabin camera, mounted
in the rear-view mirror, that monitors driver attentiveness. It
is your responsibility to keep your hands on the wheel, pay
attention to the road, and be ready to take immediate action
at any time.
When Autopilot is engaged, Model Y shows a series of
escalating warnings reminding you to keep your hands on the
wheel and pay attention to the road. If there is no response,
Autopilot disengages and is unavailable for the remainder of
the drive.
WARNING: Autopilot is designed for your driving
comfort and convenience and is not a collision warning
or avoidance system. It is your responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never depend on Autopilot to adequately slow
down Model Y. Always watch the road in front of you
and be prepared to take corrective action at all times.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the
limitations of Autopilot and be ready to take control at all
times. For more limitations, cautions, and warnings, see
Limitations and Warnings on page 114.
