Haha -- Yes, I'm not comfortable running off the road because that is exactly what it was going to do the times I've tested it on some roads with curves which have warning slower speed limit signs to slow down. <grin><snip> because sometimes it won't slow to a level with which you're comfortable.<snip>
it's been my experience that sometimes does slow the car down, on gradual ramps but on twisty roads the AP can be a bit hinky. if you have any concerns about it handling a curve it would be wise to just disable the AP when entering the curve and reengaging while coming out of the turn.Does the autopilot automatically slow the car down for sharp curves on the road? I'm guessing it would, but just wanted to double check

I might be reading way too much into just how/why the car slows down for the curves, but I feel the camera is reading the radius of the curve and the on board computer knows the approximate weight so adjusts the speed according to algorithms programmed into it. And, it could be a combination of all you mentioned above.@ Old Wiseguy
What am I seeing in the video? Is the car aware of the curves because it is navigating, seeing speed limit signs, using GPS information, seeing the curves with the camera?
We were not using AP, just cruise. Manually steering with a cautious foot over the brake prepared to slow if necessary.Yes, it will slow down when it sees signs for curves, although as others have said, sometimes depending on the signage, it may not work. Also without signs, it frequently barrels around the corner at too high a rate of speed to take the corner safely, but it is improving. Just keep in mind that TACC and Autosteer are tools to aid in driving certain easier scenarios, and winding curvy roads do not really qualify for either.
maybe it does need some adjustable settings but the system just isn't there yet, it is up to the driver to be interactive and have the ability to assume control at any moment.It needs to have a user-settable parameter to adjust how "aggressive" it should be in the corners.
the AP does not recognize the yellow advisory speed signs. the system isn't capable of working well on twisty mountainous roads. I've even shut the AP down on sections of interstates where the downgrades and twists were too much for the AP to handle.Yes, it will slow down when it sees signs for curves, although as others have said, sometimes depending on the signage, it may not work.
