Tesla Model S: Limitations
Depending on many different circumstances and environmental conditions,
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control may
or may not stop at:
- Railroad crossings.
- Keep-out zones.
- Toll booths.
- Crosswalk systems.
- Yield signs or temporary traffic lights and stop signs (such as at
construction areas).
- Miscellaneous traffic U-turn lights, bicycle and pedestrian crossing
lights, lane availability lights, etc.
In addition, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is particularly unlikely to
operate as intended, can disengage, or may
not operate, when one or more of the following conditions are present:
- Driving through consecutive light-controlled intersections that are very
close to each other.
- Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions
are interfering with camera or sensor
operation.
- Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of
the camera(s).
- A camera is obstructed, covered, damaged, or not properly calibrated.
- Driving on a hill or on a road that has sharp curves on which the
cameras are unable to see upcoming traffic lights
or stop signs.
- A traffic light, stop sign, or road marking is obstructed (for example,
a tree, a large vehicle, etc.).
- Model S is being driven very close to a vehicle in front of it, which is
blocking the view of a camera.
WARNING: The limitations listed above are not an exhaustive list of
reasons why Model S may not operate as
expected. Many unforeseen circumstances can adversely impact the accurate
operation of Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control. Using this feature does not reduce or eliminate the need
to drive attentively and
responsibly. You must be prepared to take appropriate and immediate action
at all times.
