Tesla's continuously developing driver assistance systems are what is garnering the most interest, even more so than CEO Elon Musk's Twitter feed.

[{"selector":"#anim-eeeeb84e-a01d-4d6e-9499-8343ab91cf86 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.11376943485297%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b517cb9-5700-4d42-85e6-d10102419320","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6563a265-3315-492a-93a3-269aa8423127","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.12297%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

That includes the ability for full self-driving (FSD) and Autopilot with its autosteer feature.

[{"selector":"#anim-78fe9364-56bd-413b-8c63-b58c18eb59c8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06f5f6b2-df8c-453d-836f-83710d41d2a7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe688863-d51c-4b33-bff7-1e9593f83bd9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.50485%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With each new system update, Tesla Motors adds functionality to its semi-autonomous system, but Autopilot is still divisive.

According to Tesla Motors, utilising Autopilot lessens the likelihood that the Tesla driver will be engaged in a collision.

[{"selector":"#anim-6ec3dd90-2f4c-4d72-a082-03cb3301fef7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.25331847031666%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-953f5834-8686-4760-8781-2ff3abb7a653","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41b4264f-efee-4fe4-b2a4-302da25ec01b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.53399%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

These phrases are frequently used by Musk and Musk supporters, particularly in relation to assertions that Tesla vehicles may be able to drive themselves utilising the AutoPilot system.

It has been discovered that Tesla vehicles turn off its Autopilot software approximately a second before they encounter an impediment, according to regulatory filings.

As Autopilot's autonomous driving capabilities advance over time,

According to Tesla, you can download new versions of Autopilot to your vehicle on a regular basis.

The majority of the functions that are now accessible as part of the FSD suite were previously featured in Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot, which was available before this.

except for a potential future software update that would enable the full-fledged autonomous system.
