Nvidia even demoed correctly the position of the car in relation to its space something Tesla's keep messing up.
The operative word here is "demoed".

Are you implying it means 'faked'?
As I noted in another thread, lane changes are MUCH smoother. It also seemed to have none of the ping ponging it had before, particularly on lane merges and splits.
This is all based on about 5-10 minutes of driving, but the lane changes bit was extremely noticeable.
I think a good anology is a hollywood movie set. When you ride down the street in a movie studio you see what looks like a typical street bank, barber shop, etc "the video". Once you go around the corner, however, you see that what you thought was a town was just a facade. Those impressive building fronts had nothing behind them.No, I think they're implying that a demo typically can be done much easier than an actual deployment of technology... usually because the environment for the demo can be controlled optimized for prior to demo'ing... whereas "real world" deployment will always have many more variables (some you can control, most you cannot).
Honestly, not even AP1 did this well
When Steve Jobs demoed the first iPhone, it was so buggy that he had to show each feature in a specific order or the phone would crash. He also had a few phones ready to be swapped in case one crashes. Not only was it not faked, it completely changed the world.Are you implying it means 'faked'?
Now.. now.. lets not go overboard here. IMO AP1 is everything you would want on a highway. There is nothing to do better than that.

This just happened to me while driving around during lunch. I was behind a car, the car slowed for a red and mine followed, and then right at the very end - PANIC MODE. My brother was in the car with me and we kind of just looked at it for a while before figuring out that certain death was imminent even though we were all stopped at a light. My brother thought maybe it had lost sight of the car because it was white.I had an odd experience today while driving in local traffic, both on El Camino Real in Mountain View - divided surface street, some traffic moving at the speed limit. I engaged AP (2017.28, AP2) following a pickup truck (with camper cover). Vehicle showed up on my screen, I followed normally under full AP. Truck stopped for a red light. My car slowed as normal, but got uncomforably close, then went into what I suppose is AEB. AP disconnected, loud warning, red warning on screen, car's warning flashers came on, hard braking. Either the car stopped itself or I did, at that point I was on the brakes (it all happened at around 5mph or less at the end of what is normally an in-traffic stop and go situation).
I shrugged it off as some sort of sensor confusion. But then 5 minutes later, on a smaller neighborhood street, I had the same thing happen with a car I was following under AP2 control stopped at a stop sign. Again, my car was seeing that car, and began the decel, but at the last minute entered the same weird state - alarm going, warning flashers started, AEB type brake event occuring.
Strange. I'll report back if it continues. For what its worth, I had following set to 1, and AEB set to early warning. Maybe they are overlapping?
Got a new update tonight with an interesting new version scheme: 2017.28. There's also what appears to be a git commit hash(c528869). Release notes just said minor bug fixes and improvements.
I noticed while driving with 2017.28 AP2 update that the symbol for the steer wheel in the drivers display will rotate as the steer wheel does when auto steer is active. I don't know if this happened on previous versions. Nice little touch.Got a new update tonight with an interesting new version scheme: 2017.28.

No, this is honestly based off personal experience, on a route that I literally travel every morning. Areas like this with curves + hills + worn out lane lines: Google Maps. There's also another bridge a mile north (at the El Camino Real intersection) where AP1 frequently departs or throws a TAKE OVER IMMEDIATELY because a curve + worn out lane line coincides with direct sunlight before the bridge and a shadow under the bridge.
AP1 would actually frequently depart the lane even with other cars nearby. Was really bad on the initial 8.0 release but improved a little in 8.1. Nonetheless I've lodged multiple complaints to Tesla service for this stretch of road on AP1. It's one of those roads where the left and right lane markers frequently bounce in and out of recognition, and when it goes out of recognition, the car will make a sudden correction to "re-center" but that makes things worse around curves with cars nearby.
IMO if you live in a flat environment, AP1 is basically everything that you'd want on a highway. But driving on hilly terrain with worn out lane markers, it is my honest opinion that AP2 recently became better than AP1 at this task due primarily to its quick recognition versus AP1's 1-2 second lag to rebuild its belief of the lane lines after not being able to see the road ahead. And AP2's cameras do seem better at HDR and can deal with simultaneous glare + shadows much better than AP1's.
