The Model 3 is Tesla’s best-selling car and one of Europe’s best-selling electric cars. It is not an autonomous vehicle. Its highway assistance system allows the driver, for example, to change lanes by activating a turn signal. However, the driver must have his hands on the steering wheel and his eyes on the road.
