Seems like the latest update made AP more aggressive with stopping distance.
Prior it seemed like when it detected stopped vehicles in front it would use mainly regen to come to a stop.. now it seems like the deceleration is a lot faster and it waits longer to stop.... anyone else notice that?

I have noticed that since I got my car a few months ago.
Here is the best answer to the AP woes. Constant restructuring leads to delays and slow progress.
Tesla's head of Autopilot software leaves in restructuring - Electrek
I park in an apartment garage with no Wi-Fi. My 3 indicated that a maps update is available, so I made an appt next week with the SC to tap their Wi-Fi and download it. That’s all good, but I’m on 2019.20.4.2, which the SC pushed to me when I went in before. Should I ask them to push a newer software update, like 28.3.1, or just wait until a better update is issued?
BTW, when Tesla texted me to confirm the service appt, they indicated that I didn’t need to wait for the scheduled appt; I could just come by and log into their Wi-Fi to do the download (and they estimated the maps download would take 1-2 hours).
Thanks for your thoughts.

I’m wouldn’t say it’s an AP woe, it’s just different. And it’s definitely with the latest update.
Do you happen to get good cell phone reception where you park? I'm asking for your phone, not your car. Here's why...
If you do happen to get good cell phone reception, if your phone supports it, turn it into a WiFi hot spot, and let your car connect to it. Of course, your data speed is still going to be limited by how fast your cell phone's data is, but you can still use it in this manner to get updates, albeit very slowly. You could attach a large external battery to your phone, set it up as a WiFi hot spot, let the car connect to it over WiFi, and let it do the update over the course of the next 12 hours or so. Keep in mind this will use up your phone's data, so if you pay for cell data per gig, you'll want to plan accordingly. But if you're on an unlimited data plan, then there's no worries.
I have connected my car to my phone by doing this, as there's a large section of Interstate 15 where I live (out in the boonies) where my cell phone still gets good reception but my car gets nothing, but I haven't tried to receive any sort of over-the-air updates this way.
Just something you might want to try.
Your car doesn't do LTE (cell data) OTA updates because Tesla doesn't want to pay the large data bill by updating the fleet this way, not because it isn't fast enough.

I wonder if it is the update or the situation you were in? I find if there is a curve in the road and vehicles are stopped or slowing up ahead it take ways to long to see them. If I can see them then the 3 cameras perched up on the windshield should see them. The hardware is there but the programming is not fine tuned yet and that is the main issue.

AP is not, of course, intended to be used any place there are driveways for cars to pull out of. (or any place else a car might cross the flow of traffic in a different direction than you are going)

I think 2019.28.3 just did you a huge favor.
Health wise, probably!
Thanks. I’ve done the hotspot before, but it won’t work for a large maps update. My question was really - If I’m at the SC for 1-2 hours for the maps update, is it worth updating to 2019.28, or should I wait because of the issues people have raised about 2019.28?
I don’t think so. I take the same route to work every day and hit the same stop lights. It just waits a little longer to apply the breaks. It’s not like I need to take over or anything, but I just noticed the deceleration was different.

I find it’s better. Certainly not fixed but definitely less frequent than earlier builds.
