• Midway through the lane change, Model Y must detect
the target lane's outside lane marking. If this lane marking
is not detected, the lane change is aborted and Model Y
returns to its original driving lane.
•
The view of the camera(s) is not obstructed.
• Model Y does not detect a vehicle in its blind spot, or a
vehicle or obstacle up to the center of the target lane. If a
vehicle or other obstacle is detected in the target lane, it
is shown in red in the visualization on the touchscreen and
Model Y does not complete the lane change until it is safe
to do so.
WARNING:
Although Autopilot is designed to detect
vehicles and obstacles in adjacent lanes, it is your
responsibility to always perform visual checks to make
sure it is safe and appropriate to move into the target
lane. If Autopilot cannot change lanes due to
inadequate data, the touchscreen displays a series of
warnings. Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the touchscreen and be
prepared to manually steer Model Y.
The minimum speed at which Autopilot changes lanes may
vary depending on region, adjacent lane speeds, and other
factors. Always be ready to manually steer and change lanes
as necessary. When an automatic lane change is in progress,
Overtake Acceleration is activated, allowing
Model Y to
accelerate closer to a vehicle in front (see Overtake
Acceleration on page 106).
When you engage a turn signal, Autopilot moves Model Y one
lane at a time. Moving into an additional lane requires you to
engage the turn signal a second time after the first lane
change is complete.
As Model Y changes lanes, it is important to monitor its
performance by watching the driving path in front of you and
the surrounding area. Stay prepared to take over steering at
any time. As you are crossing over into the adjacent lane, the
touchscreen displays the location in the lane that Model Y is
moving into.
Canceling Autopilot
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels when:
• You press the right scroll button on the
steering wheel.
• You press the brake pedal.
• You exceed 140 km/h.
•
You shift into Reverse, Park, or Neutral.
•
A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event occurs (see
Collision Avoidance Assist on page 120).
•
The driver's seatbelt is released, and/or the driver gets
out of their seat.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels, the cruising
speed icon on the
touchscreen turns gray to indicate that
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is no longer active.
Autosteer cancels when any of the above actions are taken.
In addition,
Autosteer cancels when:
•
You exceed 140 km/h.
•
You take over steering manually.
•
You do not respond to repeated reminders to keep your
hands on the wheel and subsequent messages on the
touchscreen .
When Autosteer cancels, a chime sounds and the Autosteer
icon either turns gray to indicate that Autosteer is no longer
active, or disappears to indicate that it is not currently
available.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control or Autosteer cancels,
Model Y does not coast. Instead, regenerative braking slows
down Model Y in the same way as when you move your foot
off the accelerator when driving without Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control (see Regenerative Braking on page 82).
While Using Autopilot
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is active and Autopilot is
maintaining a set speed, the speed is highlighted with blue
text on the touchscreen.
When Autosteer is active, the steering wheel icon is blue and
the lane markings are highlighted in blue on the visualization.
To display more details about the roadway and its
surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights, and objects
(such as trash cans and poles), touch Expanded Full Self-
Driving Visualization.
If unable to detect lane markings, Autosteer may determine
the driving lane based on a vehicle you are following. In most
cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model Y in the driving
lane. However, there may be situations in which Autosteer
follows a driving path that is offset from the center of the
lane (for example, if guard rails are detected).
