Thanks, hadn't thought to do that.
Wouldn't work for me as I don't use Cruise in built up areas with lots of parked cars etc as I think it makes me less likely to react promptly to the unexpected
I don't get anything like that ... once on a long journey is more likely. Possibly a notable difference between our cars, and a potential cause of AP-misbehaviour? But if so "why?"

When they removed radar and turned the gain up on the cameras a few months ago the performance of my car changed markedly.
Did you car ever have Radar?
I guess in my case when you build a car and then start removing stuff that was built for that specific vehicle it is going to have consequences.
I can head off to work in a camera-clean car in the middle of the night and within 2 minutes of leaving home I am being nagged with blocked and blinded camera warnings.
I must spend 20% of my driving time messing around with the warnings on the screen. It’s unnecessary and dangerous.

Not a fan of them either but why do you "mess around" with them? Just ignore them.

MS is 2019, MY is whenever they first arrived on UK shores (i.e. Yes)
I, now, hesitate to reply in these discussions as I have very few longer journeys at present, so might not encounter new issues
But I drive up to an hour or so on country roads quite often and don't get camera disengagements much.

Interested in this. How is Siri activated? Can it use one of the steering-wheel buttons? Mainly want CarPlay for Audible and PlexAmp.

No, I'm non USS and still on .2
I assume .4 will roll in soon enough

I don’t physically mean “mess about with them”. I mean they ping up and my attention is drawn to the screen. It wouldn’t be so bad if you could dismiss them and select “don’t remind me for the remainder of the journey”.

Just by saying « Hey Siri ».
And you can use the steering wheel button to navigate too.

So having used .2 for a couple days, here are me thoughts. No idea why I don’t have .4
New parking assist is way better although still not perfect, especially if you follow the lines on the assist display rather than the ones shown on the camera.
All the other features such as alternative routes and speed cameras work for me. Blind spot thing hasn’t been tested yet.
New autopilot nagging is shite, and I’ll be getting a camera blocker. Literally every time I engage it unless both hands are firmly holding the wheel I immediately get a ‘pay attention’ warning as well.
Wipers are still as shite as ever, there are no changes whatsoever so I don’t know where people are getting that from. They still dry wipe, still go overly fast during rain, and still don’t wipe at all during spray if there is no rain. I haven’t tried disabling them when autopilot is active yet to see if I can.
This morning on my first long drive, I got numerous ‘lane assist unavailable, may resume on next drive’ and ‘some autopilot features disabled, may be available on next drive’. I have no idea what’s causing this other than maybe dirty cameras? I’ve had no autopilot disengagements for the counter to prevent me using these features and autopilot seemed to work as normal (lane keep assist didn’t). Anyone any ideas?

Does anyone else have issues with the Apple Podcast app being very quiet? I have to turn it almost to full volume when listening to podcasts, I've tried a couple of different podcasts and they are the same volume and then I deafen myself when going back to Apple music.

If you cover the camera the nags are even worse. Certainly in my case.
It’s ironic that the message on the screen telling you to pay attention diverts your attention to driving the bloody car in the first place.

Nothing to do with dirty cameras. It was introduced in 44.1 and remains to this day. Sometimes with the lane departure warning the car may or may not change lanes when instructed. This then causes another warning “lane change not available”. After reading that the car then shouts at you to ”pay attention” because the internal camera can tell you’re looking at the screen. You couldn’t make this crap up.
Not a fat lot you can do apart from hope Tesla fixes it soon. I doubt they will.

Yes I noticed that. I use Bluetooth for YouTube music and that’s always been quieter than the radio too (to a much lesser extent). On my old Audi it had a memory for audio volume per source - doesn’t seem too much of a stretch to implement that here.
