Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

Note

Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, Autopilot hardware, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) , or the feature may not operate exactly as described.

When Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, Cybertruck 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.

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.

Warning

Driver intervention may be required in certain situations, such as on narrow roads with oncoming cars, in construction zones, or while going through complex intersections. For more examples of scenarios in which driver intervention might be required, see Limitations and Warnings.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) uses inputs from cameras mounted at the front, rear, left, and right of Cybertruck to build a model of the area surrounding Cybertruck (see Cameras). The Full Self-Driving computer installed in Cybertruck is designed to use this input, rapidly process neural networks, and make decisions to guide you to your destination.

Note

As Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) capabilities evolve, Cybertruck is upgraded through over-the-air software updates. Download updates as soon as they become available.

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 remain attentive and be ready to take over at all times while Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged.While Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, the cabin camera monitors driver attentiveness (see Driver Attentiveness).

Warning

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires you to pay attention to the road and be ready to take over at all times. Remain attentive, be mindful of road conditions and surrounding traffic, pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists, and always be prepared to take immediate action (especially around blind corners, crossing intersections, and in narrow driving situations). Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the limitations of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and the situations in which it may not work as expected. For more information, see Limitations and Warnings.

CAUTION

Use of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) will be suspended if improper usage is detected. For more information, see Autopilot Suspension.

CAUTION

As Full Self-Driving (Supervised) deployment expands, Tesla will gradually make it available to eligible customers in select countries outside of the United States and Canada. Because every country contains unique infrastructure, driving behaviors, and traffic patterns that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) must adapt to over time, it is essential for drivers using Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in newly eligible countries to be extra attentive and overly cautious. You must be ready to take over safely at any time.

Before Using Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

Enable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) . While Cybertruck is parked, touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and then, after carefully reading and understanding the popup window, touch Yes.
Note
Cybertruck must be in Park for you to enable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) , or to disable it and instead enable Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
(Optional) Customize Full Self-Driving (Supervised) settings.
- Speed Profile: If desired, change the default setting of Sloth. For more information, see Choosing a Speed Profile
- Use HOV Lanes: Choose whether Full Self-Driving (Supervised) uses High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on your route.
Ensure that the cameras on Cybertruck 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.
Warning
Do not use Full Self-Driving (Supervised) if anything, such as a ball hitch, bike rack, or trailer, is attached to the rear of your vehicle. If Cybertruck detects that a camera is blocked (for example, by a rear-mounted bike rack), the touchscreen displays an alert and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) performance may be degraded or, in some cases, the feature is unavailable.
Ensure that the latest version of maps has been downloaded to Cybertruck (see Map Updates). 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.

Choosing a Speed Profile

Choose a Speed profile to determine how quickly Cybertruck drives while Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, and how frequently it makes speed-based lane changes. In addition to the selected speed profile, Cybertruck uses navigation data, historical data from other Tesla vehicles, the speed of other vehicles on the road, and posted speed limits to determine how quickly to drive.

The default speed profile is Sloth. To change the speed profile:

Tap Self-Driving on the touchscreen while Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged.
Touch Controls > Autopilot .
Roll the right scroll button on the steering wheel up or down.

Once you select a speed profile, it is selected by default the next time you use Full Self-Driving (Supervised) . The selected speed profile is also associated with your driver profile (see Driver Profiles).

Sloth: Cybertruck drives under the speed limit.

Chill: Cybertruck drives in slower lanes and makes minimal lane changes.

Standard: Cybertruck drives at normal speed, and adjusts speed to match the flow of traffic.

Hurry: Cybertruck drive faster and makes more frequent lane changes.

Mad Max: Cybertruck drives more quickly than in the Hurry profile, with more frequent lane changes.

Starting Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

As long as Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled and available, you can activate it at any speed less than 85 mph (140 km/h) (including when Cybertruck is at a standstill) by pressing the right scroll button.

Note

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) isn't available when the tailgate is down.

When Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, Self-Driving is shown in blue on the touchscreen, accompanied by the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) profile (see Choosing a Speed Profile).

If you do not choose a destination, Cybertruck chooses the most probable driving path or suggests a destination based on your driving.

Note

You can override Full Self-Driving (Supervised) at any time if you are uncomfortable or uncertain about the system’s intended course of action. You are driving Cybertruck at all times.

Starting Full Self-Driving (Supervised) from the Touchscreen

You can also activate Full Self-Driving (Supervised) from the touchscreen, either when Cybertruck is in Drive or in Park.

First, enable this feature by touching Controls > Tap to Start FSD (Supervised).
Brake Confirm is enabled by default. When Brake Confirm is enabled, you will need to briefly press the brake pedal to confirm each time you start Full Self-Driving (Supervised) from Park.
(Optional) Enter a destination. If you do not choose a destination, Cybertruck chooses the most probable driving path or suggests a destination based on your driving.
Touch Start Self-Driving on the touchscreen and, if prompted, press the brake pedal to continue. If Cybertruck is in Park, the vehicle shifts into Drive or Reverse, pulls out of the parking space, and begins navigating to your destination. If Cybertruck is in Drive, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) engages immediately and navigates Cybertruck to the set destination.

To cancel Full Self-Driving (Supervised) once Cybertruck has begun the trip, tap the brake pedal or use any of the methods listed in Canceling Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

CAUTION

Start FSD (Supervised) from Park is available as long as Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled and available and Cybertruck detects that a suitable driver is present. Start FSD (Supervised) from Park may be unavailable for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to):

Cybertruck detects that there is no suitable driver in the driver's seat.
Cybertruck detects that the driver's seat belt is not buckled.
A door, the tailgate, or the frunk is open.
A charge cable is connected to the vehicle.
Cybertruck is in Valet Mode, Track Mode, or any other mode that restricts Autopilot usage.

CAUTION

The use of devices designed to circumvent occupancy detection is a violation of the terms of use for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and may result in the feature being permanently disabled on your vehicle and a ban on future use of the feature.

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.

Warning

NEVER make assumptions and predict when and where Full Self-Driving (Supervised) will stop or continue through an intersection or road marking. From a driver's perspective, the behavior of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) may appear inconsistent. Always pay attention to the roadway and be prepared to take immediate action. It is the driver's responsibility to determine whether to stop or continue through an intersection. Never depend on Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to determine when it is safe and/or appropriate to stop or continue through an intersection.

The touchscreen displays a visualization of the environment surrounding Cybertruck, including the roadway and detected objects such as vehicles, pedestrians, curbs, bicyclists, and more. Objects that are highlighted on the visualization represent priorities that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is actively controlling for at a given time.

Note

The Full Self-Driving (Supervised) visualization may not be a holistic representation of the objects, road markings, road signals, and other variables that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) takes into account as it attempts to drive to your destination. While Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, it uses data from the cameras on Cybertruck that may not be represented in the visualization (see Cameras).

Note

You can widen the visualization area to fullscreen. Enable the setting by touching Controls > Autopilot and then touching Expanded Full Self-Driving Visualization . Then on the touchscreen, swipe the visualization window handle to fill the entire screen.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) maintains your speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead of Cybertruck, 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 Cybertruck, 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 touchscreen to inform you when an action (such as a lane change) is being taken.

Warning

In rare cases, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) may not appropriately slow down, come to a stop, or resume control for a stop sign or traffic light. You may assist the system by lightly applying the accelerator, or can override Full Self-Driving (Supervised) at any time.

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.

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 wheel or other vehicle controls.

Take Over Immediately

In situations where Autopilot is unable to steer Cybertruck, a warning chime sounds and the touchscreen displays the following message.

Take over immediately

When you see this message, take over steering immediately.

Arriving at Your Destination

You can choose what Cybertruck does when you reach your destination. While Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, the destination behavior (if there is one selected) is displayed on the touchscreen.

To choose the destination behavior, touch Self-Driving in the car status section of the touchscreen. Under At Destination, choose from the following options.

Park: If a suitable parking space is detected at your destination, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) parks Cybertruck.
Note
If no suitable parking space is detected, Cybertruck pulls over instead.
Curbside: Once Cybertruck reaches your destination, the vehicle pulls over for a short term stop (to pick up or drop off a passenger, for example).

If you selected Park, you can also select what kind of parking space you would like Model Y to choose, such as Parking Lot, Street, or Driveway. The available options depend on your destination. If you are navigating to a Supercharger, for example, you can select Charger.

When you choose an option, Cybertruck defaults to the same behavior the next time you use Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to navigate to the same destination.

In either case, once navigation is complete Cybertruck shifts into Park.

Canceling Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

To disengage Full Self-Driving (Supervised) , do any of the following:

Press the brake pedal.
Press the right scroll button on the steering wheel.
Take over and steer manually.

In addition, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) will disengage if any of the following occurs:

You shift out of Drive.
A door or the tailgate is opened.
There is an Automatic Emergency Braking event (see Collision Avoidance Assist).
The driver's seat belt is released, and/or the driver gets out of their seat.
You do not respond to repeated reminders to pay attention and subsequent messages on the touchscreen.
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 touchscreen 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 a safe environment without other road users so you may become familiar with the process.

Driver Attentiveness

Autopilot features require that the driver pay attention to the road, their surroundings, and other road users.

The cabin camera monitors continued driver attentiveness when Autopilot is engaged.

When the cabin camera is actively monitoring driver attentiveness, a green indicator appears in the status bar.

This system cannot be disabled. The cabin camera does not require full visibility of the driver's eyes in order to monitor attentiveness. The system is still active, for example, if the driver is wearing sunglasses.

If the driver repeatedly looks away from the road, the touchscreen displays a warning. The warning is dismissed once the driver begins paying attention to the road again.

Please pay attention to the road

If the cabin camera does not have clear visibility of the driver's hand and arm locations, the touchscreen periodically displays a message reminding the driver to apply slight force to the steering wheel.

Apply slight turning force to steering wheel

If the driver repeatedly ignore prompts to apply slight force to the steering wheel or to pay attention, Autopilot displays a series of escalating warnings and, if those warnings are ignored, disables for the rest of the drive and displays the following message.

Autopilot unavailable for current drive. Autopilot Strikeout - Attention warnings ignored.

If the driver does not resume manual steering, Cybertruck sounds a continuous chime, turns on the warning flashers, and slows to a complete stop.

Warning

Do not use handheld devices while using Autopilot features. If the cabin camera detects a handheld device while Autopilot is engaged, the touchscreen displays a message reminding you to pay attention.

Warning

The use of devices designed to circumvent driver attentiveness is a violation of the terms of use for Autopilot and may result in the feature being permanently disabled on your vehicle and a ban on future use of the feature.

Autopilot Suspension

Use of Autopilot features will be suspended if improper usage is detected.

Use of 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 Controls > Autopilot .

A strikeout is forgiven after half a week (3.5 days), as long as you don't receive another strikeout in that time.

Note

If your access to Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is suspended, you also lose access to Autopark . However, you can still use Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and all active safety features are still enabled.

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.
