Built for safety
Tesla vehicles are engineered to be the safest in the world. Each one combines powerful onboard technology with an all-electric design to help protect every driver, passenger and pedestrian on the road.
What are Forward & Blind Spot Collision Warnings?
These features provide visual and audible warnings when a possible collision is detected with a vehicle or obstacle in front of the car or in your blind spot.
Do Teslas have Automatic Emergency Braking?
Yes. Automatic Emergency Braking can detect vehicles, pedestrians and objects in front of you and applies the brakes to mitigate impact. However, the driver remains responsible for braking at all times.
What is Lane Departure Avoidance?
Lane Departure Avoidance applies corrective lane-centering steering if a potential collision or unintended lane departure is detected. However, the driver remains responsible for driving and steering at all times.
