Does anyone know how we will turn the autopilot/handsfree system on and off?

I took a test drive in a Tesla X and the lever on the steering wheel column was very intuitive to use. I don't see any levers or buttons for the autopilot. Anyone else notice where the controls might be other than the big screen?

I am that guessing it uses the cruise control buttons on the left-hand side of the steering wheel to activate the Hands-free system.

here is one of the clearer pics I can find. So one of those symbols must be handsfree?

So one looks like lane guidance and the other looks like matching the speed with the car in front of you. Other typical cruise control. Doesn’t look like handsfree to me.

Perhaps the button configuration has not been finalized yet. The steering wheel buttons on the two previous pictures are different. The first picture shows five buttons and a rocker switch and the second picture only has four buttons and a rocker switch.

Well, the "auto lane centering" IS the initial handsfree driving mode as far as I can tell - the full self driving is a "future" thing that may never happen. Their ICE cars that have the "auto lane centering" require you to still have a hand touching the wheel, but in the E there is a camera that watches your face instead - thus handsfree
