How It Works
Your Model S includes the following components that actively monitor the surrounding area:
1. A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2. Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3. A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4. Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5. A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6. Radar (if equipped) is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model S is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.
NOTE:
Ensure all cameras and sensors (if equipped) are clean before each drive. See
for more information. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
