Autopilot assistance and safety features temporarily disabled

[bjrosen]

I've gotten the Autopilot Safety and Assistance Features temporatily disabled message several times in the last few weeks. The curious thing is that if I engage Nav on Autopiliot it works fine. Any idea what's going on. Anyone else seeing this message. I'm assuming that it's a software bug that was introduced in a recent update but I wonder if it might be something else.

I was put into autopilot jail on Friday (seemed harsh to me). Since then autopilot have been unavailable as has traction control, regen breaking, stability control. I have rebooted, changed wheel config etc to get the Autopilot to come back on but to no avail. Service centre appointment on Friday. Until then it is like driving a menacing brick.

Ya i get that message from time to time but autopilot seems to always work so I stopped worrying.

What car and age? MCU1 cars (S/X before March 2018) do this sometimes when the MCU is acting up.

Had a loaner older model S recently that did that. Drove to a store and came out after and it said autopilot safety features disabled (had just used them a little on city roads coming to store.) Tried to turn off and on in parking lot and no change. Worked again a day or so later.
