    Autopilot malfunction

    This is a training defect which I see quite often, too. It appeared about two software versions back. The left turn lane should be ignored while the vehicle travels straight on. Most of this time, this is the behavior. However, if there is a vertical curve or horizontal curve in the vicinity of...

    2019 Firmware Updates for AP 2.0?

    It took a trip to the service center, and replace one of the repeaters. Now works great. While doing the inspection, they found a crack in the rim of the left front wheel. So probably all for the best. The no-confirmation NOA works pretty well, but occasionally does something really silly. The...

    2019 Firmware Updates for AP 2.0?

    Wow, what a saga. Hmmm ... 1) Seems like replacing the camera didn't fix it. 2) Whatever else he did, did fix it. 3) Let me know if the error comes back with 8.4 ? I'll call our local service center tomorrow, and see what they come up with. Thanks for the feedback.

    New feature: Autosteer Stop Light Warning

    It seems like the 2019.8.3 version has widespread problems on AP2.0 vehicles -- it displays the "camera visibility limited" message, and lane change, blindspot, and NOA don't work. Does anyone (including Tesla) have a solution to this problem?

    2019 Firmware Updates for AP 2.0?

    I have the identical problem with my S P100D AP2.0 -- seems like quite a widespread problem on AP2.0 cars. Most importantly, has anyone, including Tesla, figured out a solution to this problem?

    Navigate on Autopilot is Useless (2018.42.3)

    I have used NOA a number of times (4 or 5 times) in the Atlanta area, driving from up north to the airport down south over the I85, I75, and 400 interstate system, and back. V2018.42.2. It has worked faultlessly for me -- appropriate lane changes; appropriate exits; nothing scary. Perhaps I'm...

    Autopilot gone?

    AP2 V20018.42.2 - Autopilot dead as a door nail. Reports "Cruise not available" when you attempt to engage Autopilot. Tesla says they are working on it... No timeline

    Let's support the bold and the doers - I'm impressed with V9 even though it is a bit rough around the edges..

    Alert tones when rolling through stop sign with AP 2.0 on 2018.21.9

    I noticed yesterday for the first time a slow down on a back road on AP when aproaching a stop sign at a T junction. I commented at the the time "wow, did you see that" to the others in the car, but did not go back to retest. Not sure if it was the T junction or the stop sign... V2018.24

    Testing the Tesla - update 2018.21.9

    I don't mind the nags - just keep your hand draped on the wheel and the nags are not irritating at all. However, the big problem for me is that 2018.21.9 is a BIG step backwards in terms of jumpy and nervous behavior on roads that it previously drove very well. It swerves down side lanes and...

    Blog NTSB Releases Preliminary Report on Autopilot Crash

    Thanks for the visit @benfar .Interesting conversation and drive, with a few edge cases that proved quite interesting: 1) a missed detection of a weird trailer carrying a car, stopped at a traffic light as we approached from behind. The system just missed this one completely. It is 50/50...

    Drove 200 miles today in North Georgia with 2018.10.4 on winding rural roads with plenty of crests, dips, poorly marked roads etc. It is a route I've regularly driven with AP1 and prior versions of AP2. Well, hats off to@Tesla for this version. It really is a significant step forward, and makes...

    Yeah, you will not regret it. I can't imagine driving without AP, even with the current limitations. I received 2018.10.4 and on my drive today (about 150 miles) the lane keeping; slow down for curves; and detecting stopped vehicles ahead were all substantially improved.
