Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
When Full Self-Driving (Supervised) (also referred to as Autosteer on City Streets) is engaged, Model X attempts to drive to your destination by following curves in the road, stopping at and negotiating intersections, making left and right turns, navigating roundabouts, and entering/exiting highways.
Unlike Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer, and Navigate on Autopilot, which are intended for use on multi-lane roadways with clear lane markings, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is meant to work in a variety of driving scenarios. You can use Full Self-Driving (Supervised) on any type of roadway, including residential and city streets.
Like other Autopilot features, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires a fully attentive driver and will display a series of escalating warnings requiring driver response. You must keep your hands on the steering yoke (or steering wheel) while Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged.While Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, the cabin camera monitors driver attentiveness (see Driver Attentiveness).
Before Using Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
- Ensure that the cameras on Model X are unobstructed and calibrated (see Cameras). Full Self-Driving (Supervised) depends on the ability of the cameras to detect traffic lights, stop signs, and road markings.
- Ensure that the latest version of maps has been downloaded to Model X. Although Full Self-Driving (Supervised) primarily uses visual data received from the vehicle's cameras, greater accuracy is achieved when using the most recent map data. To check which version of maps is currently downloaded, touch . You must connect to a Wi-Fi network to receive updated maps (see Map Updates).
In addition, you must enable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) before you can use it. To enable Full Self-Driving (Supervised), touch and then, after carefully reading and understanding the popup window, touch Yes.
- Full Self-Driving (Supervised): If desired, change the default setting of Average to Chill or Assertive. Chill provides a more relaxed driving style and Assertive drives with more urgency.
- Minimal Lane Changes for the Current Drive: When selected, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) makes fewer lane changes on the current drive. Model X will still make lane changes as necessary to follow the navigation route.
- Automatic Set Speed
Offset: When enabled, Model X drives at the speed
that Autopilot determines to be the most natural. This considers factors
like road type, traffic flow, environmental conditions, the detected speed
limit, and the selected Full Self-Driving (Supervised) profile
setting.WarningYou are responsible for the speed of the vehicle at all times, whether Autopilot is engaged or not.
To Use Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
Once Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled, activate it the same way you would Autosteer (see Autosteer).
- Enter a destination. If you do not choose a destination, Model X chooses the most probable driving path or suggests a destination based on your driving.
- When the instrument cluster displays the gray steering yoke (or steering wheel) icon, press the right scroll wheel.
You can engage Full Self-Driving (Supervised) at any speed less than 85 mph (150 km/h), including when Model X is at a standstill.
The instrument cluster displays the maximum speed in blue. When you engage Full Self-Driving (Supervised), the set cruising speed defaults to the speed limit, plus any offset you’ve specified. If Autopilot is unable to determine the speed limit, the cruising speed is your current speed, in addition to any specified offset.
The visualization will also inform you of the system’s intended action by displaying a message on the instrument cluster, such as when the vehicle is slowly creeping for visibility to take a turn at an intersection.
Canceling Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
To disengage Full Self-Driving (Supervised), do any of the following:
- Press the brake pedal.
- Press the right scroll wheel on the steering yoke (or steering wheel).
- Take over and steer manually.
When you disengage Full Self-Driving (Supervised) by steering manually, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control remains active.
In addition, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) will disengage if any of the following occurs:
- You shift out of Drive.
- A door or trunk is opened.
- There is an Automatic Emergency Braking event (see Collision Avoidance Assist).
- The driver's seatbelt is released, and/or the driver gets out of their seat.
- You do not respond to repeated reminders to keep your hands on the wheel and subsequent messages on the instrument cluster.
- Full Self-Driving (Supervised) becomes unavailable. This can happen for a number of reasons (for example, if a camera becomes obscured). If Full Self-Driving (Supervised) disengages, an alert will appear on the instrument cluster to notify you and a chime will sound. If this happens, take control of steering immediately.
When driver intervention is required, it is best to safely disengage as soon as possible. It is recommended to practice disengaging from Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in safe environment without other road users so you may become familiar with the process.
While Using Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) changes lanes, makes left and right turns, follows on- and off-ramps, and takes forks in the road as necessary to reach the destination.
Like Autosteer and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) maintains your speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead of Model X, if there is one. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) also slows down and stops at traffic lights and stop signs as necessary, and reacts to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles on the road.
For example, if you are driving on a residential street and another vehicle backs out of a driveway ahead of Model X, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) slows down or stops as appropriate. If the other vehicle stops backing out while partially blocking the driving lane, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) slows down and maneuvers around the other vehicle if the width of the lane allows it.
When the traffic in front of you is slowing down, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) shows blue arrows in the driving lane and slows down to maintain an appropriate following distance from the vehicle ahead of you. When you are driving on the highway, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) displays a message on the instrument cluster to inform you when an action (such as a lane change) is being taken.
Changing Lanes
To tell Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to change lanes while on a multi-lane roadway, engage the right or left turn signal. On city or residential streets, engaging the right or left turn signal tells Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to make a right or left turn, respectively.
Unlike Navigate on Autopilot, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) does not require confirmation before a lane change. To cancel a lane change or turn, cancel the turn signal or intervene with the steering yoke (or steering wheel) or other vehicle controls.
To be notified by a Chime, Vibration, or Both of upcoming lane changes (in addition to the notification on the instrument cluster), touch and then select a Lane Change Notification.
Changing the Set Speed
While Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is active, roll the right scroll wheel up to increase, or down to decrease, the set speed.
Arriving at Your Destination
Once you reach your destination, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) stops Model X and displays a message indicating that navigation is complete.
Driver Attentiveness
Like other Autopilot features, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires driver attentiveness. Your hands must be on the steering wheel at all times while Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, and you must monitor your surroundings, the road, and other road users.
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) periodically displays a message reminding the driver to apply slight force to the steering wheel:
If Model X does not detect slight turning force on the steering wheel, the instrument cluster flashes and eventually chimes repeatedly. Do not use handheld devices while using Full Self-Driving (Supervised). If the cabin camera detects a handheld device while Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, the instrument cluster displays a message reminding you to keep your hands on the wheel.
Similarly, the cabin camera monitors your continued attentiveness when using Full Self-Driving (Supervised). This system cannot be disabled. The instrument cluster displays a message reminding you to pay attention if you repeatedly look away from the road, obstruct the camera, or prevent the system from identifying your gaze.
If you repeatedly ignore prompts to apply slight force to the steering wheel or to pay attention, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) disables for the rest of the drive and displays the following message requesting you to drive manually. If you don't resume manual steering, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) sounds a continuous chime, turns on the warning flashers, and slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
Autopilot Suspension
Use of Autopilot features will be suspended if improper usage is detected.
Use of Autosteer and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is suspended for a week when you or another driver of your vehicle receives five Autopilot "strikeouts." A strikeout is when the Autopilot system disengages for the remainder of a trip after the driver receives several audio and visual warnings for inattentiveness.
You can see how many strikeouts are remaining before Autopilot access is suspended by touching
.A strikeout is forgiven after 7 days, as long as you don't receive another strikeout in that time.
There may be occasions where driver intervention is required and you must take over immediately to maintain safe driving. Driver-initiated disengagements do not count as improper usage and are expected from the driver.
