from the vehicle ahead, it is important to
be aware that your selected following

where it may not be your intention to
overtake the vehicle you are following.

vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model S in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model S in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.

and will not, steer Model S around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.

circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
