1. Autopilot
All Tesla models are equipped with a driver assistance system called Autopilot.
The feature enables a car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically within its lane. The function does not replace the role of a driver, but is intended to make driving easier and cut down on accidents.
New Tesla models have eight cameras and 12 sensors that provide a 360-view of the vehicle‘s surroundings, per the carmaker’s website. In the past, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has compared the Autopilot cameras to the human eye.
The system also features an $8,000 or $99 per month Full-Self Driving add-on which can change lanes, as well as recognize stop lights and stop signs. The feature is currently in beta testing.
