How It Works
Your Model Y includes the following components that actively monitor the surrounding area:
1. A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2. Ultrasonic sensors (if equipped) are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3. A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4. Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5. A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6. Radar is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model Y is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.
In addition, the cabin camera can determine driver inattentiveness and provide alerts when Autopilot is engaged. By
default, data from the camera does not leave the vehicle itself. In other words, data is not saved or transmitted
unless you enable data sharing. To enable data sharing, touch Controls > Software > Data Sharing > Allow Cabin
Camera Analytics. Cabin Camera Analytics helps Tesla continue to develop even safer vehicles in the future. See
Cabin Camera on page
117.
NOTE: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if equipped) are clean before each drive. See
on page 83
for more information. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
