With all the recent negative attention on safety and delays in releasing EAP functionality, I've been questioning the rationale at Tesla for choosing to release a dangerous and buggy version of Autosteer for local roads in Release 17.7.2 instead of these alternatives:
- Increasing TACC speed beyond 70 MPH
- Increasing Autosteer speed on Freeways/Interstates beyond 50 MPH
- Adding Autosteer on divided roads and highways (not just freeways)
- Adding Auto-wipers
- Adding Auto-headlights
- Adding Summons
The addition of Parallel Autopark in 17.7.2 was appreciated but personally, I would have preferred extending Autosteer on divided roads and highways well before local roads. Isn't going from Freeways -> Divided Highways -> Local roads seem to be to be the more obvious (and safer) path for extending Autosteer functionality?
