As of 2020, Tesla vehicles already support driverless driving. Tesla said that all Tesla models produced at the factory (including Model 3) will be equipped with hardware with fully autonomous driving functions. The new hardware will fundamentally improve the safety of vehicle driving.
The system contains 8 cameras, covering a 360-degree visual range, and can monitor the surrounding environment from a distance of up to 250 meters. The vehicle is equipped with 12 ultrasonic sensors that complete the vision system and can detect and sense hard and soft objects at nearly twice the distance of the previous generation system.
And the enhanced front-facing radar can penetrate heavy rain, fog, dust, and even vehicles ahead, thereby providing richer data around it to ensure the safety of unmanned driving.

Since the 1970s, developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany have begun to conduct research on driverless vehicles, and have achieved great results in terms of feasibility and practicality. made breakthrough progress. China has been conducting research on driverless cars since the 1980s. The National University of Defense Technology successfully developed China's first truly driverless car in 1992.
In 2005, the first urban driverless car was successfully developed at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The world's most advanced self-driving cars have been tested for nearly half a million kilometers, the last 80,000 kilometers of which were completed without any human safety intervention.
