Autopilot steering wheel hack

And this is why Google says that humanity is not smart enough to be trusted with an L3 car... that it's L5 or nothing.
This project is a potential Darwin award candidate. Very unfortunate.
why the hell is this thread still not deleted after all that`s happened.....

Err.. I believe Tesla’s intentions are that you keep your hands on the wheel (and presumably, eyes on the road)... not that you stare at your dashboard waiting for the next nag.
I’m sorry the Tesla software doesn’t always detect your hand on the wheel. Sloppy software. They probably set the minimum torque high enough so that phantom torque (mass of the steering wheel when the AP is applying torque) doesn’t incorrectly detect hands on wheel.
Perhaps they should write better software to actually detect when the drivers hands are on the wheel.. and while they’re at it.. add a check for constant moderate torque so threads like this would never exist in the first place.
I wonder if Nissan’s ProPilot can be tricked with a weight..?
Whether or not your hands are on the wheel doesn't matter. If you don't pay attention to the road, you will crash. There are no presumptions, well except on Tesla's blog.
Can't be done. The proper way to drive is to have minimum steering inputs at all times. Which means detecting any amount of torque fails. Autopilot is effectively teaching people to drive poorly.
It's not even constant torque. There is both a circular moment AND a change in gravitational mass in relation to the axis of spin with a "fixed" weight.
Hopefully I burst your bubble properly this time.
All of you defending the nags should hire yourselves baby sitters. Jesus.
No, we just believe we are ADULTS enough to handle responsibilities on my own. Thank you.
12oz hockey stick weights, reduce size by 1/3 but keep weight. Strap to lower left (since my reaction is always to grab with right hand) just below the half point.
Very special, don’t forget to paint black.
I usually use it only on highways when u just want to be left alone on a single lane..

I had that belief shattered a long time ago. And it keeps getting shattered over and over again.
Normally I’d be at peace with this. If somebody wants to kill themselves, that’s fine. But there are other people on the road.
This seems to be a good solution:

If 8oz can do it, it would be even better.

Exactly! If the ONLY risk were to those foolish enough to do this, go right ahead. But as I pointed out, we share the road with people who frankly don't get it.
I am so sick of the nags since the last two firmware updates I do not use it anymore. I can't see my self paying for the commercial "tesla phone holder" either so I went out and got the ingreadients to mould my own Autopilot buddy. A 12oz pack of FIMO and some button neodymium magnets.
For those unfamiliar with FIMO it's a German product found in arts and crafts stores. Is pliable like playdough but hardens permanently when heated in the oven at 230F.
It should not stain but I will wrap the wheel spoke in plastic wrap before I take press it on.

When AutoPIlot was first released with firmware 7.0 there were NO NAGS. The system was quiet until it needed driver intervention. FW 7.1 introduced the first "nag" after approximately 15 minutes of not sensing torque on the wheel. My opinion(s) is/are based on the almost 80k miles on enjoyed on my previous Teslas which were both on FW 7.1 while I owned them.

3 months maybe 6 months definitely!!!
In all seriousness probably not until it becomes standard delivery on the S & X as well.
Well, speaking of burst bubbles...
"circular moment" doesn't mean anything. Moment is force times distance
"change in gravitational mass" doesn't mean anything. Unless you are considering relativistic effects, mass is explicitly not a function of gravity or any other acceleration and it certainly doesn't change "in relation to the axis of spin".
