and sensors to monitor traffic conditions and adjust vehicle speed, braking, and steering to provide a more efficient driving experience.

These systems are also designed to alert drivers of potential dangers and even take corrective action if needed.

In short, Autopilot offers an additional layer of safety when compared with human-only operation of vehicles.

As with any new technology, it's important that Tesla owners use the feature responsibly. If used correctly,
