AP is great, I use it loads and consider it to make driving long distances far easier. I also hope that it will see a quantum improvement when the FSD beta highway stack code replaces the legacy AP code, as I assume it will in due course.
That said, RIGHT NOW an ability to manually change lane without AP disengaging would be far better than NoA, which takes its sweet time and requires more effort to supervise than just doing the manual lane change. Not because it can’t manage the lane change but because it has no tools to handle changing circumstances other than to panic and bail out, making you look like a poor driver.
Also, the wheel nags defy all logic. Some days I get hardly any, some days it’s literally every 30 seconds with no discernible difference in behaviour on my part, plus they require too much force in my opinion. Hitting the sweet spot where the system detects the wiggle but doesn’t disengage becomes a task in itself, and if it’s on one of its ‘30 seconds’ days I genuinely think it’s making the system less safe by being a distraction in its own right.
