Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It will make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, and make left and right turns. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled on your vehicle. To use the feature, pull the drive stalk down once. You can disable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Autopilot Settings.

When enabled, a button will appear on the map when driver requirements are met, and the brake pedal is pressed and released. Driver requirements include (but are not limited to):

At the end of your drive, you will receive a notification if poor camera visibility is detected. To view these images go to Service > Camera Visibility.
