What does Tesla AP mean?
1 Answers
Tesla AP refers to the Autopilot feature of Tesla vehicles. The Tesla AP function is an advanced driver-assistance system. To activate AP, the driver must first pull down the gear lever to enable ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control). After activation, when the system detects lane markings, pulling down the gear lever twice consecutively will engage AP. Once AP is activated, both the lane markings and the steering wheel icon on the left will turn blue. Tesla's AP stands for Autopilot. Before engaging AP, the vehicle requires the driver to pull down the gear lever to activate ACC. Following this, when the system recognizes lane markings, pulling down twice more will enable the AP function. The Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has already achieved Level 2 automation, with some features reaching Level 3. Its visual range extends up to 360 degrees, with environmental detection capabilities reaching as far as 250 meters. Additionally, it utilizes 12 ultrasonic sensors to complement the machine vision system, providing guidance during parking. Unlike FSD, fully autonomous driving requires no driver intervention and can achieve complete self-driving. FSD allows the owner to simply activate the function via the key fob, after which the car will autonomously drive to the owner's location.
