Autopilot and parking now available in HK for AP2

[flyingbathtub]

I'll test the autopilot function more this weekend - hopefully its not raining too hard (I'm still not confident enough to rely on autopilot in bad weather). I only managed to drive with it on for a few trips last Sunday. Generally it works well. My brief observations so far:
- Auto lane change too slow, hesitates. I would not be confident using it unless on a large freeway where it can take its time to change lanes. I did see it work once and it seems to work well moving into other lane.
- Auto park only seems to detect when there are cars / obstruction on both sides of the car spot. I briefly tried it once but it started positioning in a way which was going to take a long time to correct, so I took over.

Will have to try it out more this weekend.

Nice! Yes with that rain we had definitely not the conditions to try something new like this in case you have to take control in a hurry...

Anxiously waiting for it on my X!

Latest update in HK now enables auto steering + TACC and auto parking for HW2 cars

Is you car an S or X?

I just had a chat with out friendly neighborhood Tesla service centre while passing by, and the news is formally that AP2 has been approved by the Transport Department. Only highway with divider use unfortunately, but still... it is something.

All model S cars will first receive the update, then model X. They said it may take the next few weeks but let's hope it gets done a bit quicker.

Good news.

somewhat offtopic but do we know if the airbag fix is being rolled out with this update simultaneously?

Airbag fix was already rolled out last weekend. The fix will also be included into this new update coming as well.

AP2 autosteering: works but as Jswlim said the lane change is a bit slow.

autoparking: I put the car at angle in position before starting and it seemed to work fine. But it left quite a distance to the back which meant the front of the car stuck out quite a bit from the space. I had to manually reverse 10-20cm to get properly parked

Model S

Seems that this update has only been released for AP2 Model S at the moment. Model X owners still waiting...

I just got a notification that a software update is available on my MS. I'll report back after updating.

 

[Argonaut]

Just installed the latest software. Autopilot is there but I haven't had the chance to try it. Will likely find some highway over the weekend to test it out.

Did you connect the MS to WIFI or is it always just on LTE?

 

[Argonaut]

I've never connected to wifi. I did call tech support since my TACC wasn't working (the update resolved it) so maybe they pushed it to me.

Update: I have driven a lot on HK island but have only been able to use autopilot for about 30 seconds between Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay. It worked well for the 30 seconds but then we hit the construction so I disengaged AP. I've tried autoparking twice and both times my MS had to abort mission. So far it isn't worth the hype.

for those who got the latest software update, have they activated auto wipers?
