Traffic Aware Cruise Control uses the Tesla’s radar to lock-on to the vehicle in front of it and match its speed. Over the years, Tesla has sold four different Autopilot software packages that bundle these features together in different ways. Each feature has a specific task, such as maintaining speed, steering, or parking. In short, Autopilot is really just a catch-all term that refers to Tesla’s entire suite of semi-autonomous driving features. For a quick refresher, check out our comprehensive overview of Tesla's Autopilot Hardware. It’s easier to understand the software once you know about the hardware that makes it all work. With four different hardware versions and four different software packages released over the years, it’s tough to keep track of what was available when, and what each system can do. It’s also one of the most confusing features from Tesla. It has tons of features, is constantly being improved upon, and is the single biggest option most consider when considering a Tesla. It might not be robotaxi-ready yet, but Autopilot is already one of the leading semi-autonomous driving software suites available today.
