If you ever wondered how Tesla Autopilot works – look no further than this video that Tesla posted to X.

You can see what Tesla Autopilot sees in the video below:

The revolutionary self-drive system views its surroundings via a network of eight cameras.

These are strategically positioned around the EV.

From the outside of the Tesla, these cameras provide a 360-degree view of the outside world around it.

This visual data taken in is then fed into a complex system of software algorithms.

This video is particularly interesting considering Tesla recalled more than 2 million cars earlier this month due to safety concerns over the Autopilot feature.
