One thing that makes me uncomfortable with FSD or autopilot

[gottagofast]

When I drive I tend hug the outside line of the road, there’s been a few times over my years of driving that a driver in the oncoming lane of traffic drifted a few inches to 1 foot over the middle of road into my lane

FSD tends to get much closer to the center of the line in a road rather than the outside line, if a car in the other lane came over a few inches to 1 foot into my lane like has happened to me before they would most likely hit me head on if I had FSD on vs me driving and staying close to the outside line

Autopilot centers the vehicle in the lane. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable. There is no way to adjust it.

It used to also not give extra room when passing trucks on 4 lane roads. I think now it does scoot over a bit, but that might have just been coincidence for me.

They should update to make it slightly favor the outside line, if there’s no option

FSD tends to get much closer to the center

This how it is supposed to work. The reason you are uncomfortable is the optical illusion that the car seems too close the left side. If the car were to position itself to the right of center the car would be too close to the cars on your right. I do not expect this will ever change.

Correct

That’s fine for a 3 or 4 lane road, but very uncomfortable in a 2 lane road where people cross over the center coming head on at you

On a more positive note, FSD will center your car on the lane, however, if opposing traffic ventures too far towards your lane, it will move you over in caution. It also will check that area to make sure there is room to move over.

Future editions of FSD may allow the driver to select their personal preferences, but at this time, everybody gets the same configuration.

Humans have this same uncomfortable situation when someone else is driving and their driving styles do not mirror their own.

Where do you live, so I can avoid the area where people clearly don't know how to drive?

It took Comma a few years to solve the laneless driving, I guess Tesla would take about a decade to do so.

I’m also uncomfortable with the sudden alerts that go off for no apparent reason. It makes me jump out of my skin. Supposedly the car auto corrects my steering but I haven’t felt anything different over my own steering intentions and meanwhile the alert. Before the latest upgrade I did not have these issues. It’s happened twice. Any suggestions to override that would greatly appreciate!

For what its worth, this isn't always an optical illusion. I had the same sense my car was riding too close/over the center line. My town has some roads where reflectors are built into the markings along the center line, and I could clearly hear and feel my car riding over these reflectors.

12.3.6 does this for me as well.

Turn on your cameras when driving and you will see it is. Note that not everyone is tricked by this illusion since over time we automatically adjust. Note also that the new software does not always keep the car centered for a variety of reasons, such as when passing cars it moves off-center away from the car being passed.

It's not an illusion if it's literally hitting the reflectors.

This one it easy, you are both wrong. And for any perceived reason, it's easy to come up with the devil's advocate position.

And for everyone that wants to drive on the right, there seems to be someone that wants to drive on the left.

The center is the best and safest place. You have more ability to maneuver in any direction. And you don't have to panic, and swerve to the other side if there is a pedestrian on the side or vehicle meandering over.

V12 FSD brought the car out of the center. Pretty much ALL versions of everything before then kept the car in the center.

That's what you get when you learn from humans, bad practices.

And for an optical illusion, it makes a lot of noise while it's rashing your wheels against the curb.

People, I tell you, they are the worst.
