Think I've finally realised what these guys are on about with the auto wiper improvement!Being bombarded by sycophants 24/7 must be something elseView attachment 1004303
Really? You can turn them off again when using TACC?Think I've finally realised what these guys are on about with the auto wiper improvement!
The neural net has clearly thought really long and hard and realised the auto wipers are bollocks, so enables you to turn them off while on autopilot now!
Even when using autosteerReally? You can turn them off again when using TACC?
Thank God for that!!!
You’ve not tried the new dance have you….?Best feature of this Holiday Update, as far as I'm concerned....
I posted something very similar about a month agoThis morning, on a lightly trafficed but very wet two-lane motorway, I was driving on EAP. It kept asking for an unecessary lane change into the ourside lane. Eventually, as there was a slow truck up ahead, I ok'd it and it started the change. Then all hell broke loose with warning sounds, the big red steering wheel and a message - Lane change aborted due to system error. I wrestled with it and we veered from side to side before I got it under control.
It's never done that before.
Pretty sure it’s illegal in France and the cops can seize your car if you have speed camera locs on a satnav type device.The notification for speed cameras is much more consistent in France and Switzerland than I’ve found in the UK.
Unfortunately that’s because it doesn’t show you were any of them are .
I thought that law had changed - I was aware it was a big issue many years ago - but I’m sure I’ve had satnav software on iPhone that used to alert me (Tomtom?) in more recent years.Pretty sure it’s illegal in France and the cops can seize your car if you have speed camera locs on a satnav type device.
Regardless of some replies here I definitely agree with you regarding the wipers. I drove for 3 hours in the pouring rain yesterday and used auto steer (beta) for most of it. At no point did the wipers go crazy. This would have 100% happened previously. I would say that at some points the wipers were too slow and I was surprised auto steer didn’t disconnect. It’s an improvement but certainly not as good as if a simple rain sensor had been installed.For what it’s worth, I’m on .5.1 and after 300 miles up/down the M6/56 I’m convinced auto wipers have changed, less responsive or irate - more work needed, but overall better. The TACC with AS was the most assured I’ve experienced in 13K miles, following distance appeared more consistent, including acceleration and breaking in traffic. I only had one slow for an adjacent lane and he had strayed onto the white line. There was some hesitation passing trucks in the narrow lanes, but they were so close I took control. To me it’s appears to be a definite step forward after a big step backward recently.
That feature has been released for some considerable time now (2023.12 I think, so probably around April 2023, maybe?) Was welcome when it dropped!Biggest win for me and i'm not 100% sure if this was this update or a previous one is to be able to adjust the wiper speed by the left scroll button - have now reached a point where i can cmfortably change the wipers without looking at the screen.
Although if anyone wants to design a new stalk with a wiper speed selector they'd get my cash
I don’t think it needs a new stalk personally - just a software modification to cycle through the wiper speed settings when you quick tap the left stalk button while the speed menu is displayed after the first quick tap.Although if anyone wants to design a new stalk with a wiper speed selector they'd get my cash
Oh I forgot about that, although I find using the screen to adjust after tapping the wiper button easy enough. However… I have never (until today) had to adjust the wipers so frequently on a drive. It was raining and had been for a while so plenty of spray and the rain was variable and fine at times. The auto wipers were quite plain and simply not sensitive enough and had to manually turn them on.Biggest win for me and i'm not 100% sure if this was this update or a previous one is to be able to adjust the wiper speed by the left scroll button - have now reached a point where i can cmfortably change the wipers without looking at the screen.

Drive to Chester today in light daylight rain produced mixed wiper results. From stupid, frantic initial wiping to bugger-all happening with a practically opaque screen. 50% of the time it was satisfactory. So overall, unimpressive.While my auto wipers have been significantly better on my last two drives, until this remains for the forceable future I’m inclined to agree with @Durzel
I’ve probably had the right rain at the right time of the day. I find it almost impossible to believe that after almost 8 years of crap wipers they’ve suddenly nailed it.
