2017 TESLA MODEL S cruise control

If Model S is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 68), and you have purchased the
optional Autopilot Tech Package, you can use
Auto Lane Change to move Model S into an adjacent lane. When both
Traffic-AwareCruise Control and Autosteer are active, Auto
Lane Change intelligently assists you in
steering Model S into an adjacent driving lane.
Using the forward looking camera, the radar
sensor, and the ultrasonic sensors, Autosteer
detects lane markings and the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on
highways and main roads with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictablecircumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
