I’ve had my car since mid February and have already taken a few short trips which have allowed me to get some seat time with Autopilot. I’m definitely a picky driver and enjoy being in control, so this took some getting used to. Had a few thoughts...
For general highway driving at consistent speeds, it’s amazing! I love it.
I was shocked at how well it worked in stop and go traffic as well. This is by far the biggest selling point! The acceleration from a stop is about 25% more aggressive than I’d like, but I can live with that.
What I still struggle with is when I’m cruising along at 70mph and I see traffic stopped up ahead. I KNOW my car will stop me in time, but I’m typically an early braker in these situations, and hurdling towards stopped traffic at full speed until the last minute is terrifying to me. So I’ve been disengaging AP so I can slow down at my own pace and then reenabling it once in the traffic to take me from there.
Anyone else feel the same?
I was on the fence about FSD when I first bought the car but now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just don’t trust the car to do anything “FULL”.
