Tesla Autopilot
Electric car autonomy
Tesla Autopilot is an advanced driver-assistance system built into Tesla vehicles, handling tasks like steering, accelerating, and braking within lanes.
Despite its name, Autopilot requires constant driver attention—it assists rather than replaces human control.
The car was on Autopilot when the accident occurred.
The term has become shorthand for debates about autonomous vehicle safety and marketing claims.
