What's weird is how the older releases are still going out.... two copies of 'this' one today, so far, on ev-fw, but look at the older ones over the last couple of days... you wonder how to make any sense of that algorithm!

When the notification that "...an update is available" is sent to your iPhone, is it possible to initiate the update in the Model X remotely from your iPhone?
There is an user who received this firmware in Japan and he felt nothing has changed re autopilot. Also, he asked the service center in Japan and the SC guy told that this update doesn't include silky smooth AP yet, to confirm his observation. One data point.
I got my new X over the weekend. It has 17.24.28.
I drove around 100 miles yesterday on hwy. I found autopilot works quite well except it hungs to the right size of the lane little closer than I like. I can't compare to prior version, but I find it work very well. Turning on hwy is definitely smooth...Very smooth in fact
New cars are getting it and SC visits are getting it, but the majority (like 90+% at the moment) of home Wifi-delivered 17.24.28 are pre-AP/AP1 cars. So I stick with thinking it isn't the AP2 update...
I hope you are right. I would love to see another big AP2 update in near future
I hope so too, I'm just basing my data on ev-fw.
As of this post, 10 updates of 17.24.28 delivered today (that are tracked by ev-fw), and all 10 are non-AP2.
I suppose there are many things that could have happened. Perhaps latest updates did enable new control algorithm (silky smooth handling). It's possible that they pulled the update for only hw2 users because they weren't happy with the EAP results but there were no issues with hw1 or pre autopilot.
Seems there are comments of noticeable Hw2 change with update. Some report positively, others reporting huge regressions.
Hopefully Elon takes some ambien this week and we get more details.
My car is at an SC getting a new ECU. While there it's been updated from 17.17.4 to 17.24.28, so hopefully after I get it back I can discuss the differences.
But interestingly, in the meantime I've had a loaner with the 17.22.xx (don't remember off top of my head the last two digits). It's awful. In the past on 17.17.4, my car would wait until late to break coming upon a parked car. This version breaks just as hard -- just earlier. It's not more intelligent. This car bizarrely doesn't see the express lanes on the highway as highway roads, so the car imposes local road AS speed restrictions. It LOVES the right hand side of the lane. It will even cross the right lane and stay in AS while visibly straddling the line in the dash display.
I snapped this pic yesterday because I couldn't believe how close to another car it was going even though there was nothing in the lane on my left. Of course you can't see the car immediately to my right, since AP2 can't do that, but it's there as the radar indicates. And yes, I turned AS off immediately after I took the picture.
Yeah the pattern at this point is unmistakeable. There's a small unsolicited AP1 rollout of 17.24.28 over wifi, but the only AP2's that are getting it are at the service center.
Let us pay homage to the tweets that have died recently.:
17.17.4 was the last increase in autonomy that went to any large set of vehicles. That was 6 weeks ago today. We made it 4 updates before we fell off that rate.
If you think 17.22.46 or 17.24.28 is this update, then reviews are mixed at best as to improvements. However, these updates went to few cars, so hard to call them a roll out. So I guess they have 10 more days to achieve it.
Yeah. Auto wipers are not happening this month. Tesla hasn't rolled two feature updates within 2 weeks since 2016.
People that have the new kernel have not been able to identify any differences, much less "giant improvement"
Didn't happen.

17.24.28 definitely drives a bit closer to the right. However, not to the point that make me feel at dangerous. In several occasions, I just cancelled it and then re-engaged. It was fine afterward
I know this is not perfect. But it does help relieve stress in my stop and go commute. I also think we should activate it as much as we can because the driving data will be used to improve future releases.

Do you know what it updated? I have mine setup to install tonite. I'm hoping some gremlins will sneak into my garage and install AP2 cameras on my classic since that email from the other day said ALL Teslas have FSD hardware lol.
