NotAutopilot
Autonomy for the rest of us.
Open-source driver assistance for pre-Autopilot Tesla Model S.
What is NotAutopilot?
Retrofit Autopilot on your Model S
NotAutopilot is a Tesla openpilot fork that brings lane keeping, adaptive cruise, and driver monitoring to 2012–2014 pre-AP Model S vehicles. The Autopilot retrofit Tesla never made.

"Our goal with the Model S was to create not the best electric car, but the best car of any kind."
Elon Musk, October 2011
Your Model S
deserves better.
That still holds true. But Tesla shipped over 25,000 pre-AP Model S vehicles before driver assistance existed. No retrofit path, no upgrade option. They moved on and never looked back.
Lane centering
Keeps you in your lane with camera-based path planning tuned for pre-AP hardware.
Adaptive cruise
Follows traffic with smooth braking and acceleration. Handles stop-and-go.
Driver monitoring
Watches your attention level. Alerts if you're distracted or drowsy.
Fully open source
Every line is on GitHub. Read it, fork it, improve it, ship it.
