I’m writing this post a bit as a way to vent but also to hear others thoughts on this. I am at wits end with trying to drive to work using AP lately on 2019.8.5. First day or so I thought I liked it and called it an improvement. But I take it back. After a couple weeks now in Dallas Fort Worth rush hour traffic I’ve gotten where I just can’t use it on most freeways.
What is with the tracking of a car(turns silverish grey) in adjacent lanes and then slowing and refusing to accelerate. Or worse yet is when it does this actually tapping the brakes quickly and dropping 10-15MPH suddenly. OMG I’m gonna either get rear ended or shot here my city. This is different than ghost braking we used to get a lot over shadows and sunlight etc....where the car would just suddenly slam on the brakes. That sucked too but haven’t had those incidents in quite awhile. This is different and just as annoying.
I’m actually pleased with the lateral navigation improvements that have come over the last couple years. It doesn’t ping pong, it is smoother at changing lanes and overall feels more confident in the steering department.
But speed control. Now that’s another issue. The constant acceleration and decelerations are terrible. It’s like driving with a teenager for the first time. In normal driving in heavy traffic my power gauge is swinging from 100 Wh/m in orange all the way dow to -50 regent in the green. It’s back and forth. I’m getting whiplash (exaggeration).
Just so I end on a positive thought
I do love the single press of turn signal stalk o change lanes as opposed to fully clicking it and then unclicking it after the change.
Anyone else seeing similar results when in heavy city traffic? Do the engineers at Tesla drive these things daily like we do? Or are they all driving some development Beta with HW3 etc...and never seeing the things we see everyday.
