    Autopilot is a suite of advanced driver assistance features that are intended to make driving safer and less stressful. None of these features make Model X fully autonomous or replace you as the driver. Autopilot features come standard with all new Tesla vehicles. Basic Autopilot includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer.
  • Page 154 Owners Manual Autopilot uses the cameras on Model X, 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 X (see Cameras on page 22).
  • Page 155 Owners Manual Autopilot Conditions Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot features (see Cleaning a Camera on page 261).
