Release notes
I am curious about the adjacent lane speed feature. That is not a feature that we were expecting. It appears to be a useful improvement to the driving policy to help AP handle certain cases.
Yeah I have never heard this mentioned by Tesla, but myself I have thought about that from time to time. If my lane is clear or becomes clear, and my speed is set to 70, but the other lanes are going 25...ummm...you don't go 70. So I think the concept makes sense, and it's advancing a little more towards FSD. I am wondering how well it's going to perform in "real life". Because I've got autosteer swerving within my lane for trucks that are one and two lanes away. Seems like we might have an increase in unnecessary deceleration events, at least for a little while.
I got the update and will try on Monday. The lane speed adjustment is a pleasant surprise. It should be (if implemented correctly) definitely much safer than it shooting past the other lanes at twice the speed of traffic. Basically that's one less driver intervention needed.
It is only a “real” issue when cars ahead and behind are traveling at a constant speed and TACC decides to drastically slow down brake checking the car(s) behind you.I observed that today as well. There are situations when you really need the car to slow down based on adjacent traffic and then there are other situations where you don't.
Sit 1 - ignore side traffic and continue at marked speed
Sit 2 - slow down just a lil bit but not as slow as side traffic
Sit 3 - slow down and match side traffic
I'm sure there are more situations that they need to add to my list above.

I find it really annoying that they messed with TACC.
I really don't understand what's so bad about the idea of leaving TACC as a very basic adaptive cruise control system. Where it expects the driver to take over when he/she wishes, and doesn't try to be smart.
All I want it to do is make minor adjustments to speed to maintain a set distance between me, and the vehicle in front of me. I don't want it to do anything special. In 99% of cases there is someone in front of me so it doesn't even need to do anything fancy.
I so wish we had a way of enabling only a basic cruise with radar. Often that is all that is needed. Let the smart things only happen when on autopilot...
I would even appreciate an option to have dumb cruise without radar for when conditions are too bad for the system to figure out (snow storm). I had this option on the Prius Prime.
The TACC is still much too smart and reacts to all sorts of things it sees. I wish we had a dumber option that really just keeps its distance from cars in front without breaking or slowing for shadows or whatever it sees.One tap on the autopilot stalk provides exactly what you’re asking for. Traffic aware radar cruise control with no autosteer.
